  After I sold him for $401 I would buy another dog of a different breed.

  Tell myself what an idiot I was for leaving $400 where a dog could get to it.

  Question: What would you if your dog ate $400 of your cash?

  I would apologize to my son for not believing him about the homework.

  I suspect I’d do the same thing the dog did, I’d $#!^…

  I heard a followup that the dog also ate some quarters and dimes. When asked his condition, the vet said “No change”. :)

  I’m with JeanC on this.

  My dog is more valuable to me than anything in my house. He once dug a huge hole in the carpet. I eventually replaced it with hardwood floors. It cost me a whole lot more than $400, but he’s worth it.

  Yet another reason to never put money in your mouth-you never know where it’s been!

  “What would you if your dog ate $400 of your cash?”

  Beat the crap outta him.

  You guys have made me laugh so hard. What a creative group you are.

  I would learn my lesson. Don’t leave valuable things within the dog’s reach.

  If we get another dog, I’m going to make sure the agreement has a claws in it about eating money. In the meantime, if he ate $400, he’d have a very short leash on life and I’d have to get Collar I.D. in case he was stolen.

  My dog, Yogi, goes down to the dock every Sunday morning and gets the paper. One Sunday, early in the year when most of the neighbors had yet to move out, he went down and got the paper from every neighbor dock in the vicinity. Had them all stacked up on our front lawn. I wondered then, if I could teach him to ‘fetch’ money.

  This maybe the only time in recorded history that a dog owner wants his dog to poop in it’s own yard.

  Davis needs to pay attention to the laws about “laundered money”.

  In red state Idaho, she could be in trouble because she didn’t collect and send in six percent sales tax on the “recovered monies”. Otter would say that the dog probably crossed a road, so the money would be subject to a “road tax or gps following tax”

  If my Pearl (yeller lab) ate 400 bucks, I would chalk it up to a smart investment compared to what my retirement funds have gone through the last 18 months.

  I loved this thread, except maybe for a few comments about beating the crap out of him or a BBQ. All in fun. Dogs are our best friends in this world, with maybe a few cats thrown in. I wouldn’t do a thing, and as Scootermom said, don’t leave such things about. Also, John, you made me smile again tonight. Thanks. I need that now and again.

  I suppose one could go to his/her local utility and say, “I can’t pay by bill this month ‘cos the dog ate my money”. Yeah, right, like that would work…

  HMO; have I run that photo of your dog retrieving your SR on the dock? For some reason, I don’t think I have b/c you sent it to me in the dead of winter. It might be a good time to run it now.

  Stickman, lighten up. The beating the “crap” out of him was a play on words. I guess this owner waited for the crap to makes its way out naturally. I might not be so patient.

  Herb, your line may be the best because it is so true.

  I did lighten up Cabbage Boy, I said all in fun. I understood the play on words, but not the reality that some would do just that.

  Let see..My male dog has eaten much more than $400 at my house:

  1 pair of Bostonian loafers = $110
  1 music playing cellphone (insured) = $50
  1 digital camera (he loves electronics) = $300
  1 pair of designer eye glasses = $400
  1 electric cord along with two bone fragments = $1,500 (surgery)
  The seat off of every bicycle in the garage = $100
  And most recently he ate something that poisoned him = $1,000 vet bill

  If I had time I could go on and on… but man, the strange thing is, I still love that dog to death…
