Today, I had to pull chunks of digested blanket out of my dog's ass because she refuses to listen to me when I tell her not to eat the damn blanket. I can't stop smelling it. FML

OP here, firstly, there's a lot more to the story than I could fit in 300 characters. The dog that are the blanket is actually my well behaved one. She hardly ever eats anything. She didn't eat the whole blanket. Just chunks of it. She was in her kennel at the time because it's been raining and she's chosen to play in the mud. I'm renting a house with white carpet and I've also had to wash my sheets multiple times in one day due to the mud. So as soon as she comes inside, she goes in her kennel (if she's muddy. If she's not both dogs chill with me). She actually did stop chewing the blanket and started chewing her chew toy. She is a puppy. 7-8 months old, but she's not the hellraiser, the other one is. She was able to poop half of it out on her own, but she was running around with blanket coming out of her ass, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. It was also 11 at night and the area I'm in doesn't have a 24 hour vets office. At this point, I think she's about to start going into her first heat cycle and this can cause dogs to have abnormal behavior. This was a first time thing and it won't be happening again. The reason there's a blanket in the kennels, is because I like my dogs to be comfortable.

Generally speaking dogs don't have the best cognitive skills. Maybe a more hands on approach to stopping her from eating the blanket next time?

That dog is lucky you're not a magician, otherwise you would have been pulling and pulling....

Well I'm sure she didn't appreciate having fingers poking around her ass, so hopefully she won't do it again. FYL OP.

Ah...I have pulled paper towels out of my dog's ass. I know your pain, OP. Remember if your dog is the type to get up to trouble, treat them like a 2 year old and never let them out of your sight!

Sorry op, maybe try getting a powder or liquid to make them stop?

I'd be careful pulling anything out of your dogs butt. If it's long pieces of blanket it is best to leave it to a vet because you risk damaging your dogs bowels. As other people have suggested, try coating the blanket in something that will make the taste unappealing to the dog or just plain keeping it away from the dog because your dog could get seriously sick otherwise.

A vet can also cause damage while removing the blanket.

take your dog to the vet, they can also make sure none of it will end up blocking his bowels. and as the guy said, it's can be dangerous to do this yourself. also, maybe you should have ripped the damn blanket from his mouth. I know you wish yelling stop would work but sometimes your dog just doesn't care. just some thoughts. and the powders and sprays sounds like a good option. also maybe some digestive help that way the bowels get rid of all of it.

I can only imagine that the blanket banquet happened while the OP was not looking, asleep or similar.

I hope no cat lovers bash this...if so shame on you...yes that means you... It's a good thing or that it's passing...but isn't there a better way?

Well I won't necessarily bash this, but cats are better. Though I guess that's a pretty universal law that everybody knows so I don't really need to say it.

Because they're like babies and they're curious. Also they don't have the same taste as humans so they think different things taste differently. Also it could be the dog teething if they're a young puppy. Ultimately things like this come down to the owner more than the dog. There's plenty of ways to make a pet stop doing things, as pets are just like other animals and will stop doing something with enough negative feedback, whether by taste or physical discomfort.

Oddly enough my family had a dog who ate his blanket too. My grandma had to help remove the blanket. Hope your dog is ok.

If it happens again NEVER pull something out, you can CAUSE internal damage by legitimately pulling their insides out. I'd take her to the vet, because a blanket is huge! I've only heard of dogs doing this with condoms and not pulling it out.

What in the world did I just read? condoms? that's a thing? how careless of the owner to just leave a ******* condom on the ground. what even.

I used to live in a house with a dog that was fond of eating condoms (when my roomie's boyfriend left them in her room) and plastic trash bags. We got both under control, and he was fine. Some dogs will eat the strangest things.

You should take you dog to the vet. I know it expensive but she could still have some in her. Blocked intestines are dangerous. Besides not pooping it will stop her from absorbing water. Dehydration kills faster than just about anything else. By the time you realise she is in trouble it could be to late. To prevent it stop giving or leaving blankets around her. Side note, dogs, for some strange reason, do not speak English so telling her not to do something is like some one telling you not to do something in Japanese or some other language you do not speak.
