We rushed her to the vets where they cleaned out her mouth and pumped her stomach and right now she's on medication so that hopefully her kidneys and liver have not been damaged but only time will tell as the putty contains Toluene which warns of kidney and liver damage if ingested. Her vets bills so far have just eclipsed $400 half of the money coming from my tank fund so right now I'm back to square one in obtaining the kit. Right now the best I will be able to do would be 3 more weeks as I get paid bi-weekly, sorry everyone but nothing I could do.
I'm now the "bad guy" around my house even though it was my wife who moved my supplies off the table and onto the floor in the corner of the dining room with no warning of her doing it or asking me to move them elsewhere, I have pointed this out several times but it was my "damn toy crap" that has "almost killed the baby".

I can't win!

Sorry about the dog, Im in no rush so dont feel any preasure, im sure we can all wait. Your wife is no different than many of ours I would suspect. My wife calls the hobby "the other woman" and I remind her that she should consider herself lucky!

I cant get my tanks pregnant or bring her home any deseases!
Plus I even sell most of mine to pay for more projects so it dosent even effect the household income... still not happy though... Women are very hard to please all the time...
Do what I did, suggest selling the house and buying a much larger one to have my own Mancave/tank room and then let her think shes won by settling for building a 15' x 30' room onto the back of the house for my tank room.....
