My dog eats EVERYTHING!

[Mutley]

My dog has been a Hoover since we brought her home at 6 weeks old. She has eaten many crazy things like nails, rat poison, those silica packets that come in your shoes, and other stuff, but always did just fine. Last night was a different story. She woke me up somewhere around 3am just gagging and eating any little thing she could find on the carpet. I was worried so I got up and she and I went downstairs, I gave her water, and just sat with her to make sure she was okay. To me (at 3am) it looked like something might be stuck in her throat and she needed a little help getting it down. After awhile she seemed fine and I went back to bed

When I woke up this morning she seemed like her normal self except that she wouldn't eat. I wasn't too worried because occasionally she will go on a hunger strike for a day or two for reasons unknown. But, just a few minutes ago she started gagging again. So I got on the floor with her and tried to just pet her and calm her. I was about to get her in my car and take her to the vet when she started throwing up. At first, it was just normal throw up. Then, after a few seconds, guess what suddenly came up? Three socks!! Three! Still mostly intact. My crazy insane dog swallowed three socks whole!!!

Once she was done throwing up those three socks, she immediately went into the kitchen and ate her breakfast and drank her entire bowl of water.

So, what I need from you guys is some advice on how to get her to stop eating things. She gets more than enough to eat; hunger is not her problem. She has plenty of toys and bones to chew on; boredom is not the problem either. What do I do to stop this? This is the first time she's really made herself sick by eating something and she has scared the S out of me if you know what I mean.
