** Plop, plop! Ugh...

yes...

i feel almost like a parent now! my beloved dog mick has had some major GI issues since wednesday morning!!! so not cool! i haven't a clue if he ate something he shouldn't have or was just not feeling so hot and now has a 48 bug.

i was treated to the overwhelming smell of "poop" upon my arrival home wednesday night. so gross!! let's just say that i was dry heaving so much that my throat still hurts..eyes watering..the whole 9 yards! i then gave him some pepcid ac and really shouldn't have fed him that night but i did and i came to regret that as well. i got up at 230am to let him go out (he was literally running). i decided to barricade him in the kitchen with his bed and water on thursday. i thought turning a chair on its side and pushing the trash can up against it would work..and it did, thankfully because i AGAIN had a larger, nastier gift on my kitchen floor last night!! just thinking about it makes me SICK!!! anywho, this time i decided to make him some plain rice to eat (thanks for the suggestion meggy). he did eat it and yes, he had 3 more "bouts" later that evening. this hasn't effected his personality though. we still went for a run and he was fetching and eating sticks and running into the creek to splash around as usual. the fact that we were out at the park and i wasn't about to attempt to "clean" that mess up was a good thing for me!

from 5-10pm he was great..things seemed to be getting back to "normal". i again, had to let him out at 330am this time but i think things weren't nearly as traumatic. he had more rice and i shoved another pepcid ac into a small piece of banana. he is smart and must have smelled it and spit it out. i then tucked the slobbery pill into some wheat bread and he ate it that time. about 1 hour later, he puked on my wood stairs. i, however, wasn't aware until i slid on it...

long story short, he was left barricaded in the kitchen for day #2! i am really hoping things will be okay when i get home later. i am going to switch him to a better food and hope for the best as
nasty "poop" cleanup duty is getting old and my nose and throat cannot handle it much longer!!

have a good weekend all!
