Dog In The Fog On The Blog
There was an animal expert on Newsdrive last week telling Bill Whiteford some gruesome stories about the things that pets swallow. She, in fact, had once opened up a dog's stomach to find the contents of a cassette tape wound around its insides. More common finds, however, are socks...and chocolates.
Well it was the half-eaten box of chocs that tempted our own pooch - Rascal - to gorge himself this week. That prompted an urgent call to the Vet who asked all sorts of questions. Were the chocolates plain or milk? Did he eat more than his own body-weight? Was he showing any symptoms of sickness? We were then told to starve him for the rest of the day and keep some old newspapers handy unless we wanted a ruined carpet.
In the end he showed no symptoms at all and when the alloted digestion time had elapsed and I handed him a dry dog biscuit he almost took my arm with it.
Of course, I got the blame for having left the chocolates within reach of his jaws. Just like I got the blame that time I left the garden gate open...oh and let's not forget that time I tried to give him a haircut...
Today I offered to take him for a walk in the fog. I just don't understand why the rest of the family were so worried.
