It's one of the 3 things about my daughters Downs Syndrome that drives me nuts. EDIT I don't want this to be a thread killer, that's why I tried to pass on saying anything.

No thanks. It's boarder line embarrassing to me. It's bad enough that I talked about it.

I think mine has to be kiln gods. My daughter has been making them for me for the last 12 years or so. She 100% flips out if the is not a new kiln god for every firing. I think we have 300+ of them in custom display cases in the store. Most of them have been glazed and fired. She has a display case in her room that is also full of gods. There is a gaylord about half full that's hidden way that she dose not know about. I think she learned about them on YouTube.

My daughter has a companion animal (Border Collie) that has nibbled on clay trimmings for 4 years so far. She will only go after the trimmings if she has not been around clay for a few days. If shes been around the clay every day she will not go after the trimmings even if you toss some at her. We have talked to the vet about it and told it's going to happen if shes around clay. I have seen her drink the slop water a few times when her water bowl is 5 feet away. She hates the glaze room and tries to lay down, but ends up laying right out side the door.
