Apparently Benelli likes socks last night he got a pair and when I went to get it off of him he tried to gulp it down. Thank god my husband got him and I had to reach my hand in the back of his throat to get it.
He did the same today. I was wondering where he was picking them up from turns out he was standing on my dresser and getting them. I have to put the dirty socks up there BC my sheltie will get them out of the hamper. Now have to find another hiding place.

He slept in the sink for years, silly boy.

Yeah, we've been through surgery for a sock obstruction before. I read about dogs who "pass" all the socks they eat, but I don't want to test that ever again! Glad you got hold of it before it went down!

Scary is right!
Wonder if getting a large trash can, like Simple Human with the suction like top, would help. Sure wouldn't be a design statement but would keep sneaky pups safe. Plus the liner inside would make it easy to carry the clothes to the washer.
Glad you got the sock this made me think of that Great dane tha they removeved something like 39 1/2 socks from
I hear ya! We've had a few scares recently...in the basement where she got a hold of a few carpet staples sitting out (hubby freaked right out over that one - I wasn't home)...another time we heard her chewing on something and it was a piece of plastic from a box cutter and we couldn't find the rest of it (he freaked out over that one, too)...goose and rabbit poop go straight down the gullet but non-organic things like plastic, metal, wood, socks, toy stuffing, etc. just seems to be chewed and rolled around in her mouth until we clue in and retrieve it. Funny - we're retrieving stuff from her.

Door closed, end of problem. If he sleeps in the bedroom then a closet door.
You can start working on labeling the laundry basket a "No No NO" item, but until that sinks in, keep it out of his reach.
