he drinks peroxide either in orange juice or with it on his food. so I just did the latter, threw on the game outside on the porch and drank a beer while I waited for him to puke up the evidence. given the size of the chunks that came up, there was no way that was getting passed through

did you match the peroxide serving to weight?

I go a little under. he typically pukes 3-4 times.

both dogs have airtags with their tags in case something ever happens. last night about 8:30 we notice that stout has chewed his airtag holder open and there is no airtag. so I fire up the find my app and try to locate it and it becomes apparent that the airtag is following me throughout the house as stout is following me. well shit, he ate his airtag.

so we do the peroxide trick and wait for him to puke. in the meantime we play ball in the back yard and you can see the airtag go back and forth towards the fence as he chases the ball. he pukes after about 15 minutes. no airtag. we bring him inside before cleaning up the puke just in case. airtag shows it is back inside.

well shit again. so we call the emergency vet and ask if this is something we can wait out or not. because of the battery they want to get it out of him. no problem. they have to deal with a poison control database because airtag eating is a relatively new thing and the first thing to do is to do x-rays to see where it is.

after we get to the vet I checked where the airtag was and it showed our three other ones at home but was unable to make a connection with his airtag. kind of weird, but made me wonder if it started to break in his stomach. we wait around (and overhear a horrible story about a woman's cat, ugh) and he goes back for x-rays. 15-20 minutes later we overhear them say "no tag."

what??? I fire up the app again and sure enough, it says as of 20 minutes ago his airtag is at home. they bring him back out, say they can't find anything but want the doc to look and we'll go from there. doc can't find anything. $500 later, the dog is fine (albeit a tad traumatized).

but we still have no idea where the airtag is. it wasn't in his kennel and it appears to be somewhere in the back yard, as that's the only place where my phone will connect to it for it to play a sound. but I couldn't hear the sound -- at least at 11:30 in the dark, anyway.

it makes sense that he didn't eat the airtag. he's 45 lbs and that would have been a sizeable thing to swallow even if he's a flip flop eater (among other things). but I can't figure out why the tag was moving around with him on my phone if it wasn't in him.

Prior to volunteering at a rescue, I had never heard of a Catahoula leopard dog, but we rescue a ton of them from Georgia. They are weird looking dogs, and a lot of them have one blue eye, one brown eye. My next door neighbor adopted a fullbred Catahoula that had one blue eye and some crazy spots on his face. Dog had a ton of energy and loved playing with my daughter, but wasn't all that interested in being pet.
