Cedar ate a sponge

We went to the vet yesterday who got him to vomit (poor baby) but no sign of the sponge. I checked the kitchen a few more times and no sponge either, so he definitely ate it. Now I'm just waiting for him to poo it out. What was also scary was that he took a knife from the sink area, so I found it lying on the floor. Can't believe it! I took care to put the knife away and out of his reach, not realising that he is now taller and can reach it... Just so lucky he doesn't have any cuts or injuries anywhere. And also so lucky that I never care for sharpening knives.

Haven't stopped worrying since last night....

Oh Cedar, why did you have to eat a sponge? How's he doing now? I'm paranoid about the things that Parker eats. Out and about on our walks my eyes are, 95% of the time, on him because he's always sniffing for potential 'edibles' like a wad of tissue or worse a dead rodent. He put a wild mushroom in his mouth recently and I freaked out. He wouldn't open his mouth for me to pry it out. Eventually he decided to spit it out himself. The more attention I give him during these times the more likely that he'll swallow it. Is Cedar acting like his normal self?

Cedar is his active naughty self still. Pooped this morning and there was some spongey stuff, but it could also be remains of a park ball. Hope he poops tonight, it will mean he's on normal schedule. Definitely feel like a bad pup mom. I knew he's growing taller, I should have known he will one day be able to reach stuff and anticipate that.
