And next time I'll stay home and set fire to my money...

The youngest pooch hasn't been himself last two days - his appetite way down, eating grass, vomiting a couple of times, seemed constipated.  

Today our usually exuberant pup was so lethargic and heartbreakingly sedentary we took him to the vet to see if he ate something inedible...again.  (We do what we can to keep things out of reach but he has a plastic addiction.)

1.5 hours and $280 dollars later X-rays show no blockage and a clean bill of health.   On the way to the car from the vet...well, let's just say the constipation issue is no more and he's bouncing around like a new puppy in a chew toy factory.  

I guess he thought we had to much money and too much free time so he decided it would be fun to relive us of both and bonus, got a field trip to poop somewhere new!

Seriously,  I'm glad he's okay and always better to be safe than sorry but he couldn't have done that earlier today?

I know that feeling. We've taken our dog to the emergency vet in the middle of the night before only to be told she's fine. I mean...we were happy she was fine, of course. But the bill...ouch.

Karma

Lol, wanna hear an embarrassing pet story?  My beloved dog went suddenly lame, was holding up her front paw, wouldn't put it down at all.  I panicked, thinking of our trip away at 6am the next day (mr karma wasn't going, but would be at work all day, so maggie would be alone a lot).  I couldn't go if she was injured, had dislocated her shoulder or something.  I rushed her to the after hours vet, who came out in her pjs, examined her leg, then .... unclipped her collar, which some of her leg hair had got caught in....

I was so embarrassed.  Amazingly, the vet didn't charge me anything.  I think she figured she could tell the tale of the most stupid panicked dog owner ever so many times that it was worth the free consult.

I read this as "in the car from the vet" so I'm glad I read that wrong. And glad he's okay :)

Was reminiscing just last night about pretty much the same thing happening with our Husky.  (Find the bag, eat the bag, mope around not eating for a couple of days, xrays at the vet inconclusive,  plastic poop on arrival home from vet. Argh)   The vet said it was fairly typical.  Plastic doesn't show up well on the xrays  and the stuff they gave her to increase the contrast, coupled with the vets poking and prodding is often enough to move things along. Glad your dog was fine in the end. (No pun intended)     Mine continued on to a long career of eating weird stuff (brilló pads were a particular favourite) with no noticeable  damage,   except to our sanity and wallets.

      When I was a kid, my mom had a huge crush on Tom Selleck in "Magnum PI". I think that turned me off men's short-shorts for all time. Why were men so hairy back then???

      Hairy men were seen as manly men. And it was a turn on to have lots of body hair. Nowadays many hairy men will shave their chests and backs.

      My dad kept some of his 80s shorty shorts well into the 1990s. Teenage me was mortified if he wore them out of the house.

      I really hope they don't think that them using birth control had any influence on this loss. 

      I doubt they will think that. They've shown to use critical thinking in the past, and some of her siblings that haven't said whether or not they use birth control have had losses.

      I do like shorter shorts for men. Like mid-thigh. When men wear huge long cargo shorts, they completely obscure their legs. Now that’s modesty. You can’t see anything. So nicely fitting shorts that go to mid-thigh are visually more pleasing. 

      I HATE those ugly cargo shorts and the long board shorts on everyone. People should wear what they like, but men's wear in rural areas is so sloppy and gross.  They are so afraid of being fashionable that they look uncomfortable and usually kind of dirty. 

      I like men who work out and don't care that their shorts are short, because it's easier to run fast in short shorts. Not men who drive around mocking men who work out for being (insert derogatory term for women of choice here). Also let me see some calf muscle kthanksbye
