Do Not Give a New Chew Treat for the first time, at 9:30 at Night.

Woke up this morning to 3 puddles of foamy, mostly clear liquid vomit in the laundry room and 5 puddles of liquid poo all over the kitchen floor.

Remember I said I have random width plank floors with expanded joints/cracks between the boards...

Ick. Sorry Amy.

And you lost an hour of sleep to boot.

Thanks, Jeff.

Lost more than an hour, however - Dear DIL decided she did not want to pick up my son at the airport last night, she was out with friends, so Wayne went down. And the plane was delayed, didn't get in until 11:45. And then she has the gall to call my son to come help her because she got her car stuck in her friends driveway...

And to make the morning more glorious, the ice damn on the sunroom roof, despite the heat tape, is now leaking in through the window.

I hate being an adult.

It's so expensive.

Hopefully the next stage of my life makes that better though

Looks like the poor culprit was Archer. Poor baby. He did not want to go into the kitchen... laid his ears back, slink down, tail between his legs. Looking absolutely miserable. When he want in, he initially avoided all the areas that were hit.. then he looked surprised and went sniffing around as in "where did it go?"

So he has been on limited rations, absolutely no people food. And he is acting starved!

Funny thing is, Ami would not even touch this chew - good n' fit skin and coat chews.

Another good reason for a crate

Oh no, Amy! Is Archer feeling better now? Poor little guy.

I think Archer is better - he went home Sunday night.

But...the plot thickens. Ami's appetite has been lousy the last couple of days. And this morning, I looked out and he was nibbling on the holly leaves by the front porch. I read up on holly and dogs eating it and came up with "diarrhea, vomiting...inappetence (yup, that was the word, never heard it put that way before.)

I've noticed over the past couple of weeks that the holly looked like it had been nibbled and looked for deer tracks but couldn't find any. Never considered that the dogs might be nibbling it...those leaves are pokey!

But, it's confusing with Ami - on our walk yesterday, he pooped...a big ole poop. But it was all solid and formed...but with a significant amount of mucous. So now it's just a wait and see kind of thing. I may revoke his free-range priviledges to see if he has been eating rabbits or voles or birds or something and to give his tummy a break from holly leaves.
