Poor Grimm, and poor Sallie (literally, she has an emergency vet visit)

Haven't heard from our Miss Voo today, now I am worried about Violie too.

Me too. If she doesn't show up soon, we will have to hunt her down. This has been a baaadd weekend for some of our furbabies!

 

[FlyingV]

Hopefully she is out swimming, or cooking out with the family. She does have one. Besides us I mean!


I hear the chainsaw. Good, firewood.

He passed a lot of gas last night, I can tell you that!

We can give him some pedialyte or gatorade at 6:00 pm and if that goes well small portions of chicken and rice every couple of hours for the next 12. After that, he stays on the bland diet for a few days.

Truthfully though, now that I've had a little sleep and I can think again I'm beginning to wonder. They never asked what we feed him (home cooked meat, rice and veggies), and I'm starting to wonder if grains of undigested rice could look like tiny pieces of gravel. If that's the case, we have no idea what his problem is. At least there weren't any large objects like rocks or sticks or bones that might have gotten stuck or punctured anything, and the treatment would be the same. So I guess we just see how it goes.

 

[36tinybells]

They should have checked the "gravel" to make sure it was hard. Assuming you cook the rice (joke).

When my cat has gas (which is extremely rare) it scares her- she jumps and looks around, like "who did that?".

 

[FlyingV]

I had a dog that on the rare occasion that he passed gas would spin around growling, upset that something snuck up behind him.

I am stepping out and going to the store. Seriously, I am going farther than the post office.

Back in a little bit.

I tried some of the cake. In an atty, no less. It tastes like cake! Not sure what kind, as I dont really eat cake much. Bit it is really good! And, asa bonus, the atty didn't flood!

 

[36tinybells]

Excellent! Hope I get my cake on Tuesday! Good atty work, there. I will be doing that soon too.

my mom just sent me a text.

"today is the 14th day [since she got her PV] and i have only smoked 4 packs of cigs. i would of normally smoked a carton"

I think her quitting means more to me then my own quitting. this is very cool

 

[MustangSallie]

Weims are big chested dogs, so "everything" doesn't fit in their bellies. The "gravel" was in the part of the intestines that's up under his rib cage so they couldn't feel it.

Now he's doubly ...... that Simon and Zach are getting fed and he isn't. This promises to be a fun filled day!

Woo Hoo!!!! Big day out FV! Enjoy your trip to the store.

Congrats on the atty usage cba, you've inspired me to give mine another try. I'm almost out of cake though.

 

[MustangSallie]

That is way cool Chris! Congrats to you and your mom!

Went back out to the flea market and they gave us some juice. Good thing, since they charge 7 for a 10ml bottle.

 

[36tinybells]

Chris, that is fantastic news!

 

[violetvoo]

good afternoon all...
Sallie I'm glad Grimm is ok..
Chris great news from Mom...that is really awesome...

Been comforting Violie all day...she's just not herself...talked to the vet..he
wants me to just "watch" her...I'm worried about her as she's always so happy...
I'll be on and off..hope everyone is having a good weekend..

 

[36tinybells]

I'm worried too. I hope she is just getting over it. Please keep updating us VV.

I've had to use bear spray before. I was hiking with my mom's dog and ran into an adult male black bear. Most of them will either turn and run if sprayed in the face, or roll around on the ground holding their face.

Have yet to get that close to a Grizzly... Fingers crossed. Although surprisingly, moose are just as scary. Especially mothers with their babies. Scary stuff..

Thanks for the concern, FV. Actually, a hiker was found up in Yellowstone last month (I live about an hour's drive south of Yellowstone) and they have reason to believe a bear killed him. o.o

Hiker with a .50 cal, and its the bears body they would be finding. I'm just sayin'...

How is everyone doing today? It's wonderful outside today, just the perfect weather over here.

 

[36tinybells]

Hey bishy, how are you? I am okay, except I ate too many grapes. They were very good, but I should have stopped before I ate them all! It's too humid and hot here, but that's supposed to change this week.

 

[djbishybish]

I'm doing good. I think the weather is putting me in a better mood.

My girlfriend picked up some grapes from Whole Foods the other day. Holy bajesus they're good. I have to contain myself or she'll yell at me for eating them all.

I hope it cools down for you! It's 74 over here.

 

[36tinybells]

Mid seventies are predicted for Tuesdays! Hope they are right! Be glad she stopped you, I feel so bloated!
