The smartest dumbest dog I know

As most of you know Caesar has had a rough couple of days. He got into one of our laundry bags and ate a knee high argyle sock. The bag has a draw string and was cinched closed, he figured out how to get into it. Now he's always snacked on socks, mostly Logan's though. He's even snacked on Tyler's bra, though she will deny that it was hers, I know it wasn't mine so either Logan has a secret or.... Anyway, he also eats money, paper, he ate a whole book, pens, mechanical pencils and on and on...

Most times he yack's up the sock in a day or so but this time he pressed his luck with the knee high. Tuesday morning he threw up his breakfast and continued to throw up after that. We took him to the vet and he got a few shots, and some take home meds. One of those shots was a heavy duty anti-vomiting med. Well he threw up twice an hour every hour all night. We took him back to the vet, had 4 x-rays done, he's so big his belly has to be done in two shots. The Dr. thought he saw something in his belly but wasn't sure and didn't want to perform surgery is he didn't have to. So we took him to another vet who performed endoscopic surgery, located the sock, and fought with it for 2 and 1/2 hours until he finally pulled about 3 feet of sock out of his belly.

This new vet sent Caesar home about 4 hours later and he was still so doped up that he had to be carried to the car and into the house. See, taking care of a sick dog isn't a big task but when the dog is 115 pounds it's hard to move him. I laid with him while he tried to shake off the drugs. He shivered so hard he shook me... my poor baby! I was irritated that this vet sent him home in this state. Now I see why our vet doesn't send people to him. I am happy that he was able to get the sock out but his bedside manner and his communication to me was piss poor.

24 hours later he is almost back to normal. He is still very tired and lethargic but he joined me on the couch, and came running when I made him a little bit of food.

So to my point, Caesar is a smart dog, he knows how to get what he wants however, what he wants makes him sick... so why does he do what he does? We love him though, Ryan and I were very worried about our baby. I have pictures to post but I keep getting an error. I will try later....
