I let my guard down

Last night a was cooking hamburger. I left the empty hamburger container in the trash on the counter with intentions of throwing it away when done. Dinner was done and I ate. I went back into the kitchen afterwards to find the empty styrofoam container on the floor. Cooper had consumed the absorption pad that was underneath the meat.

A big thanks to Dr Doug who suggested giving him a couple of tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to get him to regurgitate it back up. When it come back up it was almost complete with the plastic backing.
  • glad Cooper is OK - I read this to my DW, the peroxide tip is good to know about

    Double ditto. That was a trauma averted, kudos to Dr Doug.
