On another note, at the dog park the other day I let him run free after his squirrel frisbee and he is really fast. Makes me think Flyball.

A Night of Stress, Happy Ending
So last night I picked up an OT shift. A full 24. The bad thing was I wasn't feeling well the 2 days prior. Then as the shift was going OK I speak with Denise who tels me that Cappy has been vomiting for the last few hours. He had thrown up all his dinner and now was into the white foam stage. Malibu did this ever so often but it was normally in the middle of the night. So I start worrying and panicking. I did not have Internet access and had to go off google on the phone. I think an emergency visit will cost a fortune being the weekend and a holiday on top of it. I would be off today but back to work Monday. So my only hope was to pray that when I got home on He would be his magical self. So I had Denise put up the water bowl so he could try to sleep through the night with nothing in his stomach stomach. So I get home and open the door and HER COMES CAPPY. His great happy self. Seems like nothing has happened. Denise said he only got up once in the night when Ashley got home at 2. Then he got up his normal time at 6 for breakfast. He got less food then normal and some green beans. Might give him some rice tonight. He has not had any problems today. Found nothing as far as breakfast and white foam. Haven't seen him pacing or anxious. I did find a nice size weed root in the backyard that he had been chewing on. He has finally decided that the back porch is not the entire backyard and has started to go up and down the steps at will. No more safe zone for Malibu. Of course the area is fence off and Andrew and I weeded it but he is a digger and got to it. So I am blaming in on the weed.

I'm with you...I would suspect the weed!
ReplyDeleteSage is terrible about chewing on plants. I have always had houseplants, so I've had to be really careful. He will put absolutely anything in his mouth and has brought up small sticks, bits of mulch, etc. It is virtually impossible to keep him from eating something in the yard. When I take him outside I stick with him and escort him back in. I can't leave him alone or he'll definitely eat something he shouldn't!
None of my other dogs has even come close to be as oral as Sage is. Sadly, my living room furniture is a testament to that fact!
Glad to hear that Cappy is OK! It is frightening when they do this stuff! And it is always on a Sunday or a holiday!
Hugs to Cappy!
Always...always on a holiday. Turkeys.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Cappy's doing better, what a scare!
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog as I'm doing research bc our family would love to add a Corgi as a new addition but I'm having trouble finding any. If you don't mind, how did you come across your lil' guys?
