>> Dog Feels Below Par After Eating 28 Golf Balls

LONDON (Reuters) - Vets cut open a German Shepherd dog to find she had scoffed no fewer than 28 golf balls.

Eighteen-month old Libby had been coughing blood after weeks of fetching golf balls at the northern England course where owner Mike Wardrop works as a bar manager.

Wardrop told Reuters on Friday he hadn't realized the dog had a secret appetite for the dimpled balls she found at Didsbury Golf Club in Manchester.

"When I take her for a walk every day she is prone to finding golf balls," Wardrop said. "She can fit five in her mouth."

Libby is now recovering from the operation to remove the balls, with 30 stitches across her belly.

"I've had to buy her two footballs," said Wardrop. "She can't swallow them." <<


Not funny.

This moron Wardop should be fined for animal cruely by his gross negligence.

I heard about this - Calvinator sent it to me earlier today

It would be negligence if he had not taken the dog to the vet when she was acting sick. He didn't know it was happening, and I doubt it will happen again.

Where did he think all those golf balls were disappearing to??

He was apparently watching. (?).

I gotta get to bed soon - a day at G-W Saturday. This should proves especially interesting as we try to match old photos of historic and veterans' monuments to the present scene; i.e., locate them based on the old photos. Challenging. At least for me!

Wow 28 golf balls!! Now I've heard of everything. I've seen a lot of incidents on Animal Planet's Emergency Vets, but this one I think tops the charts!

Hmm. I wonder now if they would have passed on their own. . .
