    A friend of mine has a dog that knows the instant a tampon has been placed in the restroom wastebasket. He acts all nonchalant and then dashes in when no one is looking.

    When he runs out with it in his mouth his human goes “Oh no! ZB got a popsicle!” And everyone chases him around trying to get it from him before he swallows it (tampons are not good for dog intestines).

    Great fun.

        He’s a weed grower so he’s always got new people coming over to work, buy or party, so he doesn’t always remember to tell the uterus-havers that this is an issue. I told him to put a sign up, but I guess he feels like this is the better way 🤷‍♀️

          Makes me wonder if the dog is deficient in some type of nutrient or mineral that’s why it seeks out blood. Similar to how giraffes are observed to lick/nibble on bones for calcium. Or maybe the dog really just likes it for fun.

              I had a dog who loved tampons.

              Never met a trashcan she couldn’t break into.

              She got trips to the vet, attention from the vet, good drugs and pats from all the vet techs. Each tampon was a treat that sent her on a vacation.

              She never learned her lesson.
