I kept my eye on her and she was fine.
Ha! This so reminds me of something that happened to me when I was a kid.
Now first, you have to understand this is sort of regional. As a kid, I lived in rural Alaska, and a LOT of people when I was a kid saw nothing wrong with discarding fish guts, etc. out in the woods behind their homes. And everyone had their dogs running loose, because neighbors were often quite a ways away and no one got annoyed by it. Well, anyway, I'm out hiking with my dog one time and I notice something she's dragging behind her that appears to be stuck to her butt. It was black, and about 18" long. I don't want to touch it, so I'm stomping my foot behind her trying to get my foot on it to pull it off her butt. Well, it wasn't stuck to her butt, it was coming from her butt. And when I finally got my foot on it, it turned out to be an ENTIRE Hefty bag, the big black kind. My guess is that someone discarded their fish guts either on or in the bag and my dog ate the entire thing. How it didn't kill her, I have no idea.
