I was browsing the news online this morning at work and came across this article on http://www.foxnews.com/.
My sister has a German short-hair and her husband has a labrador. Rebekah -- this is what the spawn of Ziggy & Katie could turn out like!! AHHHH!!!

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.

It gave me a little giggle and I thought to myself.... Yep... I'd do it too. :)

Okay,if I say yes does that mean i'm really that cheap??YES,I AM!I would search through poop to find money!If you have gloves,what's the big deal??:)
Totally!
Who in their right mind has that much money in their purse??? I honestly can't say I've EVER had $400, much less had it where a dog could get it!
But my mom had an evil dog that would eat anything-- once it ate a pincushion full of pins. Finally a plastic buckle did that dog in.....and none of us were sorry :)
First, I'd ask Josh to do it, then if he wouldn't, I go for it, wearing some gloves of course. That's a lot of cash!
I'd make Patrick do it!
