Dog puke and linky love

Posted on January 23, 2007

I don’t have time for a real post — Seth and I have a busy day ahead of us.

What’s this? The dog just threw up about half her weight. My first thought was “Poor thing. She’s obviously not feeling so good.” But my next thought was “Why can’t she vomit on a surface other than cream-colored carpet?” (By the way, cream-colored carpet came with the house. So NOT my idea.)

I’m gagging just THINKING about clean-up duty. It is literally a PILE several inches high off of the ground, about six inches wide and maybe 8 inches across. Not a puddle but a pile. Now I just have to keep the boy ignorant of the pile. Because the last thing I need right now is him squatting down and poking into the pile with pens or some sort of stick thing. (Try to stifle a gag just thinking about it. Not sucessful. Sigh. Deep breaths.)

On to more pleasant topics. Did you see the button on the top right sidebar? Kristen and Julie have launched a new endeavor where companies can send their cool products to bloggers to try and review. I’m very excited and thrilled to be a part of the review pannel.

Also, Suebob has launched a new blog called True Employee Confessions. Go have a looksee or even send a few confessions yourself.

Oh yipee. My son has just found the pile and has reported to me that Abbeydog is indeed eating her own vomit. (Pausing to find a silver lining. Stifle another gag. Goes downstairs to check the dog’s “progress.”)

Looks like it IS my lucky day! There’s hardly anything left to clean. Who says procrastination doesn’t pay off? (Thinks of this. Gags some more.)

Ew. I can handle just about anything but puke, ESPECIALLY animal puke. Poor you.

Yuck! You made me gag just reading it!
Becky on January 24th, 2007 2:19 pm

Angela on January 24th, 2007 2:44 pm

I’m definitely not jealous of you. Yuck.
Alissa on January 24th, 2007 2:56 pm

Yeah, I was gonna tell you if you left it there long enough you wouldn’t have to clean it up. Gross but true.
Oh, The Joys on January 24th, 2007 3:24 pm

Well, that’s one way to get it cleaned up… have the dog EAT it.

Uggg… thanks for reminding me why I do not have animals and probably never will. I’ll stick to baby puke and little boy puke.

I am gagging as well - oh my sensitive pregnant stomach is churning now as I don’t handle animal fluids well at all not pregnant.

I can’t wait to read Employee confessions! Thanks for the links.
Andrea on January 24th, 2007 5:22 pm

Well, that’s one way to handle it.

Just hope Abbeydog doesn’t puke up the puke. Something didn’t sit right with her, so eating what didn’t sit right might mean more piles in your future.

Just do what I do when the dog pukes; I pretend I don’t see it so hubby “finds” it first and has to clean it up. If it’s in a noticeable place then leave the house until AFTER hubby gets home.

I never knew dogs did that. Now I know why I don’t have one.

Great links, thanks.

OH…my. That made me…really really sick feeling.

EWWWWW.

Tag, You’re It!

Sometimes,I just pretend I didnotsee what the dog just ate… It makes my stomach go…and then he licks me on the face….

And I have just been howling at the video Bobbin And a Weavin video….

I cannot deal with the pet puke. Kid puke? Not a problem, but kitty puke, well, for some reason it just makes me want to hurl.

Ugh! Gag is right! NO fun at all! Its just like when you are all ready to walk out the door an dthe baby pukes on you! Fun stuff! Always at the best time.
Lena on January 25th, 2007 5:49 am

Seriously. I have tried to MOVE the animal to the tile and she scoots back to the carpet. Why God why??
Reba on January 25th, 2007 1:43 pm

Gross. At least it was less for you to clean.
Pattie on January 25th, 2007 8:14 pm

Excuse me while I go throw up now…ewwww…
Our dog (who has since gone on to greener pastures) used to do the same revolting thing.
I am now off to check out those sites which you speak of!
Mayberry on January 25th, 2007 10:22 pm

Oh God. Ewww. It’s true — dog puke is so much more disgusting than anything a human can dish out. I have often said that I would gladly change 50 poopy diapers instead of cleaning up ONE pile of doggy barf.
Isabel on January 25th, 2007 11:29 pm

(gag)

My cat threw up on one of the baby’s books. I cleaned it off and and now trying to decide…do I throw it away or just give it back to the kid to suck on?

I’m a bad Mom.

My dog loves to eat her own puke. Luckily, she’s usually outside when it happens, but Ugh. It’s so gross!
Christina_the_wench on January 26th, 2007 12:54 pm

Ok reading this did NOT help my nauseousness this morning. *grows paler*

Hope all is better now.
Jaelithe on January 26th, 2007 4:08 pm

And I thought after the vomit-fest I endured this week, I could handle ANYTHING.

Uh, no.

So, you wanna borrow my steam cleaner?
