There once was a Shiba Inu named REX. Or, as I like to call him, "Rexter", "Wex" and even "Wexter". He loved to surf the Busse combat forum on his laptop:
He was a big clown as you can see in this next pic which was the result of his right paw being bitten by a German Shepard (who is lucky to be alive).
He was a strange dog when it came to sleeping habits:
One day, Mister Rexter decided to rip open a trash bag that was left in the kitchen instead of being placed outside. Inside this trash bag was a box of chicken bones left over from his masters hot wings consumed earlier in the night. Mister Rex devoured around what I believe was 7 bones!! When we realized what had happened, we rushed him to the vet that morning. He seemed fine until we saw the xrays. There were fragments of bones all through his stomach and 3 solid bones swallowed whole. One of those had a very sharp end that our vet knew would not go either direction without doing some damage. The vet also said we were lucky that Rex didn't choke to death during consumption. My poor boy had to go into surgery an hour later and this is what was removed:

Rex made it through surgery and is healing up just fine. Our vet told us multiple stories about removing socks, toy parts, rocks, wood chunks and in one case, a golf ball. We learned to NEVER leave anything on the floor or within reach of our furry children. This lesson cost us $1300, but I would have given up my entire Busse collection to save him.
