The damned bird was feathered and only slightly smaller than my 12-lb. dog's head, but despite my desperate efforts to pry his jaws open he impossibly managed to gulp the poor thing down.
I was equal parts horrified and furious; I had JUST given him a special treat of wet food with his afternoon meal, not to mention went out and bought him doggie ice cream for the first time today. He gets the best of everything - including my attention - but he turns into a massive fucking prick whenever he gets something dangerous in his mouth, which he tends to do.
I called a vet who said that he'll probably be fine unless the bird was sick with something, so for now he's crated until I can be reasonably sure he won't barf it back up.
I'm still in a sort of shock. Like, damn dude. He's always been trademark stubborn and honestly kind of an ass sometimes, but this is the first time I've considered calling up my ex and letting her have him. He's never been especially sweet or loving; even now he's just kind of sitting in his crate, looking at me with glassy shark eyes. Not sorry. Like, I love him but... just damn, dude...
