"Fertilizing the sidewalk"

Other then drinking a bowl of water, between 9pm Wednesday night and 5pm Thursday evening Casey did not eat anything.  Yet, he still found a way to puke seven times (fourteen if you want to get technical since they always happen two at a time).

After talking the the vet when we got home yesterday (I left work a bit early because I was worried about him) it was strongly recommended that we bring him in so I made a 6 o'clock appointment. 

While we were enjoying the torrential downpour, he miraculously began to improve and by 5:30 I was calling them back asking if they still wanted to see him.

The final verdict was to keep him home and for us to watch him closely.  They suggested feeding him only rice, chicken or cottage cheese (I know, weird) to see if he could keep food down. 

He was able to keep the chicken down and hopefully he is on the road to recovery.  He had no issues overnight either.

As for our carpet, we have nine spots that still need to be taken care of so that should be fun. 

Thankfully, our neighbor Kelly let us borrow their carpet cleaner.  That should help quite a bit.

  2. Does this mean you've been peeing where we walk?

  3. Me? No. But I think we should start to question what Brian is doing when he "has to go outside for a sec."

  4. Oh no no no, I know when you are squatting out there you are just pulling weeds. I really did mean Brian.
    And if he is, in fact, piddly diddling on the sidewalk, why did you choose the sidewalk when there is a perfectly wonderful hunk of cement in the backyard. It's much more private, somewhat serene, it's smaller so it's could be a bit more cozy.

  5. You two. Geez.
    I found this list of other ways to say puke.
    Fertilizing the sidewalk was on the list and I liked it.

  6. Then don't you think you should explain that in your blog Mystery Man?

  7. Yes, you should have, because for sure, had we known that, we wouldnt have taken it as far as it did.

  8. True.
    But you would have looked at the list and made your own suggestions instead so it's a horse a piece in the end.

  10. I'm exhausted. How is it that we, Gina and I, are the only two sane people around this joint?
    I mean come on B, let's try to make alittle more sense, eh?

  11. Why are all of these comments by us?
    Do you think we scare people or are we just bored?

  14. It's cool, Brian. I called the Vox Police and reported the two abusers. I can't believe they just hand out accounts to any old hooligans off the street.I really came here to talk smack and comment that if Kelly is as good at selecting a carpet cleaner as he is at drafting a fantasy football team, the cleaner probably won't work. :-P

  15. Thanks Amy. Just another reason why I love you.

  16. It's funny you say that because it didn't work. We are now on to plan B (whatever that ends up being).
    It cleaned the non-puke portions of the carpet very well though, I'll give it that.
    Something with the chemical balance is causing the issue. It was the same thing with Resolve. Normally that takes care of all his spots and it didn't work either.
