so I posted last week that Rogue ate her foot long rope toy, and we took her to the vet. he said since she was eating/drinking/pooping/not puking to just let her go and see if it comes out. so we waited. and waited. nothing. then, Sunday morning, a week after the initial swallowing, Ken got up to walk the dogs. when he got to the kitchen, Rogue was throwing up, and the rope was hanging 1/2 way out of her mouth. she was trying to swallow it again, so he grabbed on to the end and carefully pulled it out. The thing was in one piece, and completely whole (although somewhat slimy) - it must have been sitting in her stomach all week. Rogue seems fine, and much happier now that the rope is out.
