Taking Care of Annie: Day 2

When I got home from work last night, there was a dreadful smell as I walked into the house. Annie had a problem, and left me a runny, smelly, poopy mess in the back entrance area. Thankfully, she did most of it there, as opposed to the middle of the living room floor, which is something Mocca would do (part of the reason Mocca stays in the front porch when I am gone!)

Annie was sacked out on the living room floor while I cleaned up the mess. She seemed fine though, and looked at me quite perplexed when I only gave her a handful of food for dinner! I had to give her more, of which she only nibbled on. I think it was just the principle of the matter for her.

I did a quick play, pet, chewy routine, as I had to go downtown for dinner with Kevin & a vendor. When I got home, thankfully, all was clear. Annie was sound asleep on the couch, head on pillow as it should be.

This morning she is good, though continues to beg for table scraps, which I never give out. She never gets the hint either, and continues to beg the entire time she is with me. Today I will be able to come home for lunch, so hopefully no issues.

Oh, decided the diahreha (sp?) was the after affects of giving her people aspirin. You can give you dog aspirin, but it could cause digestive issues....she has only been getting the people aspirin a day or 2 I guess. Previously she was getting expensive, doggie formulated aspirin which is more buffered, and less likely to cause upset. Of course I dont know for SURE this was the culprit, but it seems likely. I'll just go buy some more doggie aspirin!
