I still quite often find sockpoos in the garden but he is getting better. It's a real worry sometimes. A few days ago I found one that was wrapped in cling film.

at sockpoos. Thanks for the image J*

We had a dog eat and entire loaf of bread, and the bread bag, almost still whole, came out the other end. She was a worry, but she lived to 13 or 14, good innings for a bull terrier.

A couple of Easters she got in and ate my chocolate AND the foil, she had the prettiest poos of all the dogs in the neighbourhood. LOL.

Channy has a beautiful 'lady dane'. I had better watch my sock draw when they visit. Actually not much in there, Channy tends to borrow (never to be seen again) my socks.

Honey was a bit notorious for the art deco easter poos.

They don't look too fresh and clean either karlia!

They would have to have been hosed off before being laid out like that.

I own a Great Dane, she hasn't eaten any of my socks yet, but she has destroyed my favourite pair of pyjama bottoms. Also, she only pulls my clothes off the line, she then uses whatever she's grabbed as a blanket to lay on and go to sleep.

Many years ago, I had a Great Dane puppy. He was camoflage colour.

He was the size of a large Labrador at 5 months. One of my daughter's

teenage friends let him out the front door and he just ran onto the road.

I was trying to train him, but he was still young. That broke my heart and

I could't get another after that. I still love those 'gentle giants' though
