Yesterday the dog had a bad case of diarrhea. It stunk up the house and took half a roll of paper towels and a ton of Simple Green to clean up. We're not sure what she found in the backyard that gave her such a major case of the runs. What we do know is that she has a tendency to do the same dumb things over and over again, so we're steering ourselves for another attack before long.
Tonight at dinner I told Ana that if she would eat half of her tuna fish sandwich, she could feed the other half to Daisy. When Ana finally put the last bite in her mouth, Kevin dropped the other half into Daisy's bowl. He was about to add his own leftover grilled cheese sandwich when I reminded him of our little incident from yesterday. A little tuna wasn't likely to re-irritate our dog's delicate gut, but cheese? And butter?
So Kevin extracted the grilled cheese sandwich from the bowl and dropped it in the trash instead. I hated to see the waste, but it beats cleaning up watery poo. Sometimes I think about all the things we're not allowed to feed our dog because it might 1) make her fat, 2) give her indigestion, or 3) choke her to death, and I have to believe that if third world dogs ever met her, they would think she's a complete nincompoop.

Did you know that the official advice is that you should NOT give dogs real bones because it might choke them??? UGH!!!
If dogs were really related to wolves, they would be THRILLED to be handed a turkey carcass.
