a lazy dog-dangling day
(i will apologize in advance for the graphic nature of this story)
you know those nice sunday nights when you think you are just going to relax and watch the simpsons, but the dog has better ideas? the dog that was hanging around all day eating hay and grass and other wonderful things you can find in a back yard (with two dogs...if you know what i mean).
so she throws up and all over the place and this is how i find out that bailey is more of a grazer than a hunter. i am talking about twigs and sticks and big hunks of mud. now bailey has epilepsy and when she throws up all her dinner with her medicine, you have to try to give her a little more. so that results in her throwing up four or five times over the freshly mopped floor.
you would think she would relax after this, but bailey is one of those dogs where if she were hungry she wouldn't notice the house was burning down because she was too busy licking the corners of the floor. bailey tries something desperate that she has never tried before and starts licking the stairs and eating the dog hair and any pieces of thread or lint that she could find which makes her sick again (all over ryan as he is trying to make her settle down).
so i spent my night sitting with her and trying to get her to stop licking her dog bed. she eventually settled down and just kept sticking her tongue out and licking the air in defeat. this morning she awoke as good as new and dying to eat her breakfast. i'm sure this new manifestation of her obsessive compulsive disorder will amuse the vet (i swear...ocd for dogs. if i wasn't convinced before, i am now).
