Rory was sick I knew he was going to be because he got on my knee. He always needs to get on my knee when he feels sick all 30kg of him. I put him on the floor because no one wants Rory sick on their head at 4pm or any time really. I like to know whats come up and I was going through dog sick with my bare hands and sorting through it like a druid through intestines. I was't able to divine the Future but I did find out Rory had been eatting coco nut with the shell attached. He couldn't digest the shell do not problem up it came. I ate my breakfast did stuff but at no point can I remember washing my hands. What's happened to me? Do these dogs infect our minds with some sort of mind lulling toxin? I can't believe I thought it was normal to go through dog sick with my bare hands congratulate myself on finding the cause and not wash my hands. What have you done to me doggies
Bare hands?? We have a stupid woman at the res who leaves bread and all sorts for the birds, including half coconuts. Tatze once ate some and threw them up. I avoid stupid bird woman's areas these days, she brings carrier bags full of gunk. I confronted her about it once telling her she was endangering dogs. I'm glad to say she does put it in less reachable places now. .
Yep we have people who put it smashed up coconuts and stuff its for their dead ancestors. Yes I know the birds eat it and it reaches the ancestors or something. I asked one once ir sounds mental to me
Oh lord, the things we do for our dogs... My low point was when I noticed that Merlin was heaving on the couch and about to be sick... No time to get him to the door, so I just held out my hands and he was sick into them... It was ok though, as he ate it back again out of my cupped hands. How utterly gross is that??? Still, better than having to pick bits of dog sick out from behind the couch cushions, I thought...
Haha! This reminds me of a time I was travelling with my friends' cat and dog. J was driving, the dog was in the foot well, so my feet were on the dashboard, and the cat was on my lap. The back of the car was filled with their luggage - they had had to fly to the UK suddenly and so we retrieved their car and animals from Spain to Andorra for them. The cat didn't travel well, so she was given something to calm her, but, on our way up a windy mountain road, she started heaving. With very few options available, I just held her out over the dog, so she could throw up on him! The dog (a Lab) was most grateful for the little snack
I was totally OK with the poo eating worms. @SwampDonkey going through sick with her hands like a forensic scientist...um, that makes me kinda queasy. A friend of mine always used to say that her father had a "high ick threshold". @SwampDonkey , I think you win that prize on the Forum!
Our cat icks up furballs frequently with great dramatic effect, as she's black and white they come out looking like a big fat grey slug. I had an unfortunate incident once with a split bin bag emptying a smelly cat litter tray. I heaved. Dog poo is a bit smelly, but runny cat poo is something else. Yes, you win, you chose to go poking through the sick, most of ours have been unfortunate accidents
This thread has conjured up some flash images in my head , and I doubt I shall ever get rid of them !!!
You people are funny, yes the crazy things we do! I don't have a good one for throw up but have "helped" my dogs when walking and poo gets "stuck" you know like when they have eaten grass that you didn't know about. Have used a handful of dry leaves to pull it out and then rinse my hand in the creek after! Several times in the past! But what else can you do? Can't finish the walk with a string of poo hanging out while dog doing the squat walk!! But I have always washed my hands when I get home!! I think.......
Oh Lord, the saga of the dangling bottom grass , and when there are no leaves , and you have just used the last poo bag and hands have to be deployed
As Emily may recall, Harv isn't always very gentle with his stuffed toys. And sometimes, if we aren't quick enough, he will eat some of the fabric that used to be part of the toy. Typically this doesn't digest very well and will sometimes dangle from the business end - and require some assistance! With a poo bag I hasten to add. I assume you use poo bags for their intended purpose, Swampdonkey, or do bare hands suffice for that task too?
Moo ate a huge amount of large elastic bands she stole from an unsuspecting post man. My family watched in horror and fasination as I pulled them out they were all bouncy and stretchy.
