Yesterday was the sick dog throwing up every few hours. About mid day he did a nice throw up on my area rug. Yay. LOL. Then he seemed to figure out to tell me he needed to go out to throw up and I would take him out a few times. By then it was just a little bile coming up as nothing left in his poor tummy. He had no energy either. I hate when they are sick. Finally early evening he drank a bunch of water and held it down and then he drank some more later. He made it through the night ok.
This morning he still did not want his food. He drank some water, but just turned away from his food (I just put a little in his bowl). So, I quickly boiled some chicken and made white rice, let it cool and gave him part of it. He scarfed it right down, though he mostly wanted just the chicken part and left quite a bit of the rice. Mr Piggy (ie the other dog) came by and finished that rice right up, LOL.
I have today off work and am very happy for that. Yesterday I swept and then mopped the floors. It's a lot of floor, LOL. Today I plan to dust, vacuum and probably do some of my laundry. That welder guy dh hired to do our gate hinges just showed up this morning (he has the day off work too) to do the final welding part. I guess then the pieces need to go to the powder coater to be made black. Once they are done there, we can put the gates up! Dh is just ready to lock the world out, LOL.
The monitor cables, you know the ones shipped on the 12th 2nd day air? Now not showing up until Thursday of this week.
Our masterbath shower is huge. Like 6' x 6'. It's pain to clean the floor with a small sponge or sos pad. I had an idea the other day. I told dh I need one of your old wash brushes, but I don't want the handle that long. He went out to the shop and came back with this
We are enjoying looking through the telescope set up to view the bald eagles nest. Quite often there is one sitting on a branch that extends out from the nest. Sometimes, the other one is sitting on a branch up above it. Usually we can look out our window and see the white head, so we know one is there, but after it snowed Saturday you couldn't tell unless you looked through the telescope, so it was like "oh, you are there". haha.
At least dh is busy for part of the day (I have no idea how long it takes for the welding to get done, but I can't imagine too long) and out of my hair. I never feel like I can get stuff done when he's not doing anything. When he went out yesterday morning to shovel the snow I grabbed the mop and got started. Then he and the dogs aren't under foot with a wet floor and I don't have to work around him in his den.
I cannot clean up people throw up without throwing up myself! I am glad he learned to tell you. And, glad he is better. I often have pulled out something I saved and it is perfect for what I need. I relate.
ReplyDeleteI would rather clean up dog vomit then people vomit, LOL. That does make me throw up too.
DeletePoor dog. It's like when our children were not yet verbal and couldn't communicate very well. The fresh air maybe helped him as well once you could get him out.
ReplyDeleteHe was licking the snow when we'd go outside. He just ate his second helping of chicken and ate the rice too, so I think he's on the mend.
DeleteGlad to hear he's feeling better. My husband and I had a deal, I would clean up the kids vomit because I could stomach it and he would take care of them when they would be bleeding from cuts and scrapes.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to contact the company you made the purchase from to credit back to you the 2nd day air if you paid for it. They should be able to get their money back from the carrier since it wasn't delivered on time.
That's a good deal with your hubby...I think....haha. Only now I get to take care of dog puke and his cuts and scrapes ;) I didn't pay the shipping. My boss ordered the cables from our company's Amazon account and I think it came as "free shipping".
