[Dailydrool] Is it okay to eat a paper plate? (The dog, not me.)

[Hinchliffe at aol.com]

Okay, they don't call me "neurotic nelly" for nothing.
 
But none of my girls were ever counter-cruisers, or dumpster-divers, and  
they never ate anything they weren't supposed to.  (Well, there was the  
Sunday roast incident, but that was my fault.)  So I don't have  experience.
 
Anyway, I'm babysitting a friend's 25-pound dog.  I was interrupted  during 
lunch, so I put a half a meatloaf sandwich up on the counter, out of the  
way (hah).  She must have knocked it off the counter and the  plate landed 
upside down, and she chewed (and ate, swallowed) a hole in the  middle of the 
plate to get to it.
 
Of course she ate the meatloaf, I'm not worried about that.  But is it  
okay for dogs to eat about a 2x4 inch square of paper plate?  (From the  tears, 
it looks like she ate it in little bits, not one big piece.)  Just  the 
cheap, thin, white paper plate, nothing fancy.
 
I worry about EVERYTHING.  You've probably guessed that by now.   I'm 
convinced it's going to block her little intestines.
 
Thanks ...
