Poor Sam.
Sam and Jessie stayed with grandma this weekend while I was away. Sam kept getting sick so grandma took him to the vet. And they discovered he's been eating the pea gravel in his kennel. He has rocks in his system. :(
Once they had that all figured out, they discovered he has fox tails in his throat from eating the grass at grandma's house - full of foxtails. So he's staying with grandma till tomorrow when the vet can get the foxtails out. He's still a happy boy just not swallowing very well. :(
And poor Jessie.
She's at home, pacing, waiting for her Sam to come home. 
Your Sam sounds like my Kya. She eats anything & everything. It's amazing sometimes when I clean up her poo what I find in it...yarn, dryer sheets, quarter, sticks, plant bulbs...you name it, she eats it.
When we moved into our house 2 1/2 yrs ago, we had a BEAUTIFUL backyard...she's since then eaten everything & now it's bare. Really, I should send you a photo.
I'd say I hope Sam learns his lesson & stops eating rocks & such, but I know better from experience with Kya.

He probably won't learn any kind of lesson. If anything, it's my fault because I should be walking him more to keep him too tired to do that sort of thing. He was bred for hunting and is very high energy and has a need to go go go go all the time.

My 6 mo. old boxer searches for and eats cat poop that neighborhood cats bury in our yard. It makes him sick and he's just dumb enough to keep doing it. He also loves to eat carrots and broccoli stalks. Maybe 'eat' isn't the right word. More like "chew up and make a huge mess while consuming a good portion of"
We walk him enough most days, but he finds trouble if we don't. Gotta love that Dog Whisperer.
