My dog eats more then soap, thinfs like curtains, razors, electrical wires, shoes, stuffed animals, socks, paper, home work (im not joking),silverware and plates, anything plastic, and soap. So I dont have an answer accept for that he just likes the taste?

My dog used to eat much worse things than that--like cat "by-products"
From what my vet said, it's common for dogs to eat soap and lots of other weird stuff. (Like what I said.)

I think my Deefer (Deefer Dog) is related to your dog. Yuck!

Dingo dog?
Report as
Almost. She's half Jack Russell, half Chihuahua.

But she's as fearsome as any dingo.

I only discovered the other day that she's actually a sprechthund. That's German for a dog you can speak to.

I'll be sorry to see you go. You add a quality. I suppose most people only stay on sites like this for a limited time, but why are you leaving?

And when are you going to start work on Austin Linda Rides Again?

The religious stuff is getting to me.
I want to find a place where I fit in better.

Don't know if you figured it out, but I am a "member of the tribe". Get it?
Makes me very nervous around here. Lots of haters, just like in 1939 Europe.

I don't have a specific belief--live and let live. Christian, atheists, agnostics--I have no problems. Just don't like the haters on here.

That was a lousy response. I just sent you a FB message.
Report as
No, I hadn't figured it out. It's not something that ever concerns me -- unless somebody is trying to convert me.

I've gotta confess that I've reacted too strongly to religious rants at times, but I'm trying to stay out of those questions now.

Pls go to wwwpetmd.com for your answers. Plug in & get answers live from a vet. Eating soap will upset your dog's stomach & isn't good for them.

For the same reason they like to chew on rocks and lick up what the cat pukes up (as well as "treats" out of the litter box) and eats paper of any kind. Dogs eat all kinds of things they shouldn't. Which is why it's our job to watch out for them and make sure they can't access what can be harmful.
