Title: He ate a part!
Post by: InTheNet on April 06, 2021, 12:13:54 PM
Yesterday I went for my 2nd covid shot and decided to go home not back to work.

I had a reel to fix for a friend. As I was reassembling it  our 2 Vizsla's got back from their run and came to say hi. As I turned I  knocked a small piece off my table. As soon as it hit the floor Stryker had it in his mouth. I told him NO, which must mean swallow it quick before he can take it. DAMN! :)

So $2.29 for a part  $6.00 shipping  I will have it by Friday.

I don't post much but this is my go to place when I am stumped.

No problem with 2nd shot (phizer)

Stay healthy!

Be happy you're not on strainer duty looking to recover the wife's diamond stud.

I've lost a few parts but none like this, I'd have to try to recover it but it doesn't sound like a pleasant detail.

I believe you have done the right thing ordering a new part.  No smelly inspection procedures for me thank you.

David!

Not a big deal, I've watched my wife, on more than one occasion, digging out a penny from a diaper, each boy eat, to make sure it passed through.

Popsicle sticks work great.

 My kitty once had something hanging from his rear. I grabbed a Kleenex and got ahold of it and cat jumped and took off while screaming. It was a rubber band. I think he learned a lesson that day

I am still dying to know if it was a gear, a spring, or a dog, that he ate.

I have learned so much from my friends on this site, but now I know what a Dog Spring really is and why it is so elusive... - john

My cat took a Mitchell ring gear and batted it around garage floor, Several weeks later after ordering new one I moved my Roll Away Tool Box, Guess what I found.
