So, my dog ate a popsicle stick....

When I was a kid our old farm dog did the same thing. Ate the popsicle, stick and all. We figured with all of the other stuff he ate he must have a junkyard in his belly. He lived happily and reasonably healthily for several more years (until we needed to have someone watch him for a week who lived next to a highway .....who knew he would try to catch passing cars... and not be any good at it). Anyway, we never knew if the popsicle stick came up or went out but he survived just fine,until the car, that is.
