Recylcling Cure for the Dog

Note: I have a small collie mutt who loves to help crush, chew and destroy anything plastic in an effort to help
with the amount of plastic disposables used in this household.

What an exciting life I have!   I was up on the stool in the kitchen this evening digging through the cabinets looking for something my oldest daughter requested. A bottle fell out. I paid no attention and went on with the search.  I have no idea how much time past, I was more concerned that my son's football
practice was running late and I was going to be picking up him at midnight.
  I walked out to the living room and found O'Keeffe, the perpetual puppy, chewing an open bottle of Mucinex, two pills laying in front of her.  I immediately questioned my 7 year old, where did the dog get that, who gave that to her? She of course had no idea.  Finally I figured out what had happened.  Then my son walked in from football practice.With a look of shock on my face, I explained the situation to him in a string of incoherent mumblings. This is all about 8:30, near by drug stores close at 9. My mind was  racing.  I was pacing around reading the bottle not knowing what to do, so I called my oldest child, the expert on everything.  She of course laughed herself silly for a bit.  I'm so entertaining right?   She must hit google first thing whenever I call, she always has an answer 20 seconds into any conversation.  She told me I could give the dog 10ml of Hydrogen peroxide to well, make her well .....  you know ... barf!  So out the door I raced , off to the drug store to buy a baby medicine syringe and hydrogen peroxide. 
My son held the dog and we gave it to her.  It didn't even take 10 minutes and the "cure" worked.  We don't know if she swallowed any of the pills.  The cure worked so good it emptied the entire contents of her stomach. We were not about to do an examination to check for pills.   Poor little thing didn't even know what hit her.  And to think she was just trying to help, crushing another plastic container down to size.
No more excitement of that nature for me please.
