Lexia does not snack on things, but our pet border collie will eat grass 
like a cow if you let her.  She used to eat bark, too.

Oh yes,

I have now had three labs and they have all managed to eat a couple of
things which weren't recommended. My favorite was Belle's proclivity to suck
up by nylon knee highs. I don't know how she managed but I could drop one
and before I could even bend over it would be gone. Of course, the evidence
showed up later. Unfortunately, last year she swallowed a two inched piece
of flexible tubing of whose origins we are not certain. She ended up in the
hospital on IVs for a couple of days and eventually passed it but it wasn't
a fun time for either of us. The only thing that we can figure out is that
perhaps a bird carried it into our yard. Anyway, labs are known to be a bit
like a human vacuum no matter how careful you are. They are still my
favorite breed, along with golden retrievers.

Last week, I put down a lot of mulch in my yard.  Plain old wood chips and
bark, no cocoa shells or any good-smelling stuff.  Monday I let Ben out in
the backyard to enjoy the grass and the sunshine.  He must have snacked on
wood chips, because yesterday he threw up a bunch of bark in my cubicle at
work.  I cleaned it up as best I could, but it's still rather stinky. What
is it with wood?  I thought he'd grown out of his wood-eating ways.
Do I have to say that he's a Labrador?  I love Labradors--they are my breed
of choice--but sometimes the things they eat!  Is he trying to get fiber in
his diet?  Pumpkin is for sissies.  Man dogs eat wood!  There are reasons
he's known as Bubba. Tracy and Benny the bark man
