The dog ate a chunk off my cork yoga block. CORK. She just gnawed it off while we were sitting at dinner and kept at it until we realized there was an ominous crunching noise, and there she was!

We got it away from her, but she definitely had eaten a good chunk and swallowed it. I called the vet and left a message, and an hour later they got back. The vet recommended that we induce vomiting - which I will gloss over, but suffice it to say, you need to give a dog a small amount of hydrogen peroxide and then block them into an area with a washable floor.

She performed beautifully at this unpleasant task. Upon inspection, she brought up a good deal of cork along with her dinner. Happily, she had been clearly chewing the cork into small pieces, so if anything made it into her intestines, it's pretty likely to pass thru without incident.

She's pooped since, so she's probably fine - we'll monitor her a bit to make sure this story has a happy ending.

But, FUCKING CORK.
