Dog Eats $750, Family Digs Through Poop
Friday, July 20, 2007

MENOMONIE, Wis. — Debbie Hulleman's dog Pepper has been known to gnaw on lipstick, munch on shampoo bottles and chew on toothpaste. But Pepper got Hulleman into a real mess after gobbling nearly $750.

"This is probably the worst," Hulleman said Thursday, recalling how she poked through vomit and dog piles left in the yard to recover the cash.

Hulleman had asked her mother in Oakdale, Minn., to take care of Pepper and Zach, the family's other dog last month while she and husband went on vacation.

Pepper, an 8-year-old black Labrador-German shorthair, got into a purse belonging to her mother's friend and chewed the cash from an envelope.

Hulleman's mother recovered some of the money that Pepper spit out, thinking she had it all. But when Hulleman returned from the trip and went to clean up her dogs' mess outside, she noticed a $50 bill hanging from one pile.

The chore of sorting through dog feces netted about $400, the 50-year-old dog lover said. Between that and other bills that Pepper had either vomited or simply chewed on, the family recovered $647.

"We have a $100 bill that can't be recovered because you need three-fourths of a bill and it is only half of a bill," Hulleman said.

The family swapped the soiled money for fresh currency at a bank.

"It wasn't that bad. I soaked it and strained it and rinsed it. I just kept rinsing it and rinsing it. I had rubber gloves on of course," Hulleman said.

"Everyone said, 'I can't believe you did that.' Well, for $400, yeah, I would do that," she said.

My dumbass dog ate thumb tacks before... When I called the vet to ask him if he thought I should bring her in, he just told me to wait a few days and rummage through her shit and if the tacks didn't pass, then I should bring her in. Three days of walking the dog on a leash and watching her take a dump, she finally passed 5 of the 6 that she ate.

I know... It's a very tacky story, but oh so true. :S

That's a hell of a lot of cash to leave sitting around in a purse. Some purse sitting around is not exactly Fort Knox.

I've known people to complain about having a bunch of cash stolen out of their car parked in the driveway overnight or losing their wallet with $2000 in it. Much better to use cards, write checks, or use electronic transfers. If I have that much cash sitting around, I lock it in the safe. I only take it out when I'm ready to do whatever transaction.:S

2 guys standing at a urinal taking a leak. one accidentally drops his change in the urinal. He pulls out his wallet and extracts a 50 dollar bill and throws it in with the change then reaches in and scoops it all out. The guy next to him asks "why the hell would you throw a fifty in the urinal?" The other guy replies "Do you think I'd reach in there for a lousy seventy five cents?"


I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
