My two beagles love to eat stuff they shouldn't. My female is good if tell her to drop it she does quick as lightning. My male on the other hand would rather choke on what he's eating instead of dropping it out of his mouth. Just last week I had sweep his mouth for a piece of hoof clipping. No matter how careful I am about picking stuff up he still manages to find it. And no kisses they can give hugs, but no kisses!!!
