Payback
After a very long day and night of non-sleep and hours of diligent carpet cleaning, Bello is home from the emergency vet and satisfied with the state of his stomach on drugs. As am I. For a five pound animal, you’d be shocked at the metric tons of discharge that had been heaped upon the floor. And spread upon the walls.
In the middle of it all, when the sun finally came up and my worry skyrocketed as I had to force-feed him drops of water from a needleless syringe, Bello was wrapped in a blanket and we made the drive across town. He was immediately injected with fluids and tested for anything serious, and sent home with a bag of meds and instructions for a bland diet.
Our guess is that he picked up a bug from the new backyard, although I’m almost positive that a year of dealing with crap like this finally set him off.
I’d been saving those funds for his neutering later this month, and the way he smirked at me on the ride home suggested that yes, he had overheard me make that appointment over the phone, and all of that money I just spent for a diagnosis? Totally his plan all along.

Poor pup. Thank goodness for emergency vets. Hope he bounces back soon.
I’m glad your dog is feeling better. But, having a sneaky puppy myself, he DEFINITELY was just trying to get out of being neutered. Haha.
My friend just told me about her dog having a sickness last night. Wonder if it is the same thing.
When animals barf, they barf A LOT.
It’s amazing.
…Glad your little thing is safe and better.
I’m glad to hear it was nothing serious, but he can’t come near my girls until he has the operation.
Yeah, sounds to me like you’ve been had by the pup. Sly one, that.
One time one of our cats barfed up something that had to be the entire length of her stomach and esophagus…it was truly astonishing.
Bummer. I think you’re right…it was a devilish plan!
That is one clever pup.
Poor Bello! I hope he is feeling better now.
Strangely, whenever I vomit, it comes out in the shape of Bello. Odd…
Justin – HA.
