The Saga of the Corn Dog Stick
May 30th, 2005About a month ago, we attended a party wherein Chuck stole and ate a corndog from a child. He consumed not only the hot dog portion (invoking weird cannibal issues), but also the stick portion. As Heather has noted, we never saw him pass the stick.
Last week, Chuck had several x-rays of his abdomen. We thought it might be the stick and we’d have to have it surgically removed.
Today, Chuck passed the stick. WHOLE. The photo below should tell a substantial part of the story. Heather will undoubtedly tell the rest.

That is quite possibly the strangest thing I’ve heard all week. But it’s cool that you don’t have to pay surgery bills!

What goes in must eventually come back out. Damn that’s a pretty big stick… and it never even got chewed or broken. The Former Congressman must be feeling LOADS better.

*in awe of Chuck’s digestive powers*

I’m guessing Chuck walks a bit more loosely now? I’d probably be pretty stiff if I had a stick like that in my gut.
Wow.

Yikes; just say no to corndogs.

My gawd!
Reminds me of when my Daughter ate an orange at lunch and the sections came out whole. I thought she was pooping her own colon.

Ohhhhh sick!

CHUCK! dear lord!
I saw this on flickr and thought you might like it…and maybe someday explain HOW THE HELL THEY DO THIS!

Chuck has done VERY well. Kind of reminds me of a dog our family had when I was a child. It ate rocks as a matter of routine. Unfortunately the poor thing decided to take on one that was a little too big. Bowel obstruction removal surgery here we come!! Less than three weeks after healing it did the same thing and even more unfortunately he couldn’t be saved the second time around

Holy Jesus God. I can’t say much more than that!

I can’t believe nobody has said this yet…
Talk about a stick up your ass!

I had a Yorkie that passed an entire beef rib bone… Which is like, insane, when comparing the size of the bone to the dog. Sadly, it literally tore him a new asshole (One end was a pit pointy and it didn’t come out straight) and that was a vet bill you don’t even want to think about.

Did you have to dig it out of Chuck’s poo and then wash it to take a photo? yuckkity yuck!!

I bet his eyes watered when he passed that.

I’ve gotta stop visiting your’s and Heather’s sites at lunchtime!

My mom brought her new puppy home from the animal shelter. One week later, the puppy pooped out pieces of nylon, that said, “Pasadena Animal Shelter.” He had eaten his entire leash!

Cripes! That was one heck of a stick! I read Heather’s blog about Chuck, and the vet, and then I had to go back to my blog and write about what I’d do for my dog…. God I love my dog!
Glad Chuck made it through!

I’m glad that someone in that house is passin’ something.
It’s official: I shall never own a dog.

It couldn’t have been a popsicle, a piece of satay or even a kabob of sorts, no. It had to be a corn dog.
I’ll take food on a stick for 1000.

Im not sure who I am more worried about….the dog who had the priviledge of not only processing but passing a whole stick…or the person who has been following him around disecting his crap for the past MONTH!! How much dog poo can a person look at before feeling a little shitty!! Hahaha.

I’ll bet the former congressman was wishing he was still passing laws and not corndog sticks…….

When I was about six I swallowed a long, thin LEGO block (I think it was eight “units” long, by 1 unit wide รณ I had been trying to separate two stuck-together pieces when one of them, well, went down my throat). Much to my relief, it came out with no special discomfort a couple of days later.

#1 - I miss the comments section on dooce, but I understand why they aren’t there. Some people just have to ruin a good thing.
#2 - poor Chuck’s bum!! But lucky for him it was a popsicle-like stick and not the sharp pointy kind.
#3 - between Heather NOT pooping, Leta pooping out her diaper like a play-doh character and Chuck literally turning himself into a corn dog, you’re the only one with a normal rectum in the house! Count yourself lucky and buy a lottery ticket!

Next time, don’t use the dog to store your corn dogs. As you can see, it’s a flawed system.

This is so unbelievable!! It took 32 days to exit poor Chuck. Oh the PAIN it must have caused…. It’s a wonder he made it through…. My mother used to say: “Truth is stranger than fiction.” This definitely applies here!!
