Sick as a Dog

Poor Millie! Not only does she have to put up with Trigger, she has been sick. Last Monday morning EARLY she started throwing up. I took her to the vet, and everything checked out so she sent us home and said she could only have a liquid diet. Millie loves her food and treats, so this was not very easy for us to do. The next day she was back to her old self and gobbling her food down. Tonight she started throwing up again. Guess it is back to the vet for us first thing tomorrow.

Trigger got skunked. We all know that anything that happens to him, or anything he does is not surprising. Friday night I spent the night with my Mom and Brent. Dustin was on a boys trip, and my Dad was in south Texas. We had just finished the Rangers game, and I was all ready for bed. I took the dogs out to go to the bathroom, and next thing I know it smells and Trigger is shaking off, snorting, and coughing. He had been skunked. Well since I was screaming, Brent opened the door, and he ran inside! Luckily he did not get far, and my Mom caught him and dragged him back outside. Since I was in MAJOR panic mode, my wonderful Mom googled what we need to do. While Mom mixed up the baking soda concoction I went to go check on Trigger. I wanted to make sure he wasn't dying. Nope, he was just bouncing around the backyard chasing a bug. Nothing phases this dog. Mom and I washed him down, and the smell had pretty much went away on him. I highly recommend that baking soda concoction if you ever had a pet sprayed by a skunk. Inside the house was a different story! My poor Mom! I am hoping that the smell inside will soon go away!
