The Pink Stuff...It's not just for humans anymore.

::Warning - This post contains icky details about doggie poo, and it's probably not that interesting to most of you. But hey, read on if ya want to::

So last week, I think it was around Wednesday, my doggie Dexter came down with some gastro-intestinal distress. He has been very good about not having accidents in the house for a very long time. So imagine our horror and surprise when we discovered that sometime during the night Dexter had stolen away to the dining area and left three puddles of putrid smelling mess. EWWWW! So, after a trip to the vet and a fecal test that came back negative, it appears there's nothing seriously wrong with him. Unfortunately Dexter continued to have some "accidents", and I was at my wits end, but becoming very handy with the baking soda and carpet cleaning. So the vet told us to give our dog Pepto Bismol. Now I've never taken it myself, but it doesn't smell too pleasant or look too appetizing. Turns out, Dexter seems to feel the same way. The comedy ensues as I smear peanut butter on the rim of the cup, beg, plead, and wrestle with Dexter trying to get the stuff down. As soon as it reaches his mouth (most if it spilling on the way) he spits it out and shakes his head, spewing pink stuff all over the kitchen and me. Jason tried to give him the next dose, then we tried it as a team effort. I wish I had pictures of the Pink smeared Dexter. It was pretty funny. Anyway, lucky for us just 2 doses seemed to get him back to regular. Really, the things we do for the little poop monster!
