I was up all night because Blue had a bit of a tummy ache, this has followed him into this morning. I wonder if his stomach is disagreeing with the tripe he ate yesterday morning or if he has the doggy stomach flu. I now have about 8 new spots to clean throughout the apartment, either in my bedroom on in the living room. This morning, his rear end was a faucet. While the whole thing was going on last night, I was in that state of being awake and being conscious. Well, my conscious knew he was sick and that I needed to get up and do something about it, but the sleepy side of me decided to use the sounds effects and turn the whole situation into a House episode. So, while Blue was getting sick all over the apartment, I was snug in my bed, diagnosing him with each and every hack and splat. I finally came to a realized that my pup needed some attention and evidently one of those times he was not able to make it out of bed in time, sheets are in the washer!
Blue hates being sick, I hate seeing him sick. It was about this time last year he fancied cat toys and started downing those. I am always reminded of this anytime he becomes sick, but now know when to be worried about something that may be a blockage (the smell). My short day at work today will probably now be shorter than planned. No food for him for at least a day (this is really both of our decision as I offered him a treat and he looked at me as if I was crazy). I figure he will be fine, I just hope the water works are done from both ends...
How did your Friday start?

My Friday started much better than yours... all 6 dogs appear to have smooth running GI tracts. I hope Blue feels better soon.
I do think the perception differences between men and women are so funny. A woman in her right mind becomes completely awake at the first hint of sound or smell that indicates the dog is making a mess. My husband, on the other hand, sleeps through it.

Oh goodness, how I know what you're going through. Read my blog from Monday's post if you haven't already. Been there, done that. You might make him some rice and boiled chicken to help settle his tummy. I get the cooked chicken in the can from Sam's (pack of about 6-7 cans) and just keep it on hand for times like this. You never know when you're going to need it and it's already cooked, ready to go. I hope he gets to feeling better. Remi sends lots of kisses his way!!
I'm sorry Blue's guts are in a knot :-(. I hope he feels better soon!
Poor Blue...hope he feels better soon!
