This last summer, she was vomiting and wouldn't eat, so I took her in the Vet. Ended up being an intestinal obstruction requiring emergency surgery to remove it. I tried to identify the object, but other than it being a piece of cloth, I couldn't determine what it was. She survived, but my wallet was $7000 lighter.

Then a couple months ago I caught her chewing up a washcloth that my other dog retrieved from the laundry. Half was gone, so panicking, I rushed her over to the Vet, they induced vomiting, and it came up.
