Sick Dog

Spent my night and much of the early morning nursing our pit bull, Roxy. She had a severe stomach problem that caused her to get sick several times.

The bride noticed the dog wasn’t acting right. It wouldn’t settle down and continued to pace up and down the hallway even after all the lights were turned off.

Generally, Roxy is asleep long before anyone or anything in the house. But not this time.

We did get lucky as she was on the bed seconds before she lost some of her dinner. However, she jumped off and left a smelly, gross mess on our bedroom carpet instead.

The second time, she tossed her cookies under our bed. That was the hardest one to clean up as the bed is fairly heavy.

I took her to the front room and stayed with her until she calmed down around four in the morning.

By that time she had been sick so many times I lost count. When I finally awoke around 2 p.m., she was chipper and ready to play.

Dang dog.
