Blogger's dog eats a round of ammo - UPDATED!

You might remember this account of a blogger who's dog ate a round of ammo...

Here is the Update:

Eventually, hating myself every step of the way, I pulled a plastic bag over my hand and bent down to claim the buried treasure.  A quick sub-freezing rinse at the back-yard spigot, a quick but thorough dry with a paper towel, and the deed was done.  I left it in the garage because (think about it!) I wasn’t going to bring it into the house.
It will be some time before the weather warms up enough for me to travel to my usual shooting haunt in the woods north of the city.  I know you all want to know if it will still go bang, but you will just have to wait.
