Oh boy am I being tested. I wonder if dogs can get the flu?
First Rick has been sick for over a week (his fever is finally gone but he still has a HORRIBLE cough), but now the dog is ill. Rick came home from work yesterday to a very sick puppy. So he spent a couple hours cleaning and steam-cleaning the carpets and we were sure to get Cooper out a bunch of times where he continued to have diarrhea. Then at 3.15a I heard Mallory crying so I snuck downstairs in the dark and *squish*. AARRRGGGGHHHHH. For as smart as our puppy is, he has NEVER figured out how to tell us he needs to go out. That on top of obviously not feeling well makes for a yucky situation. So I got Rick up so he could steam-clean the carpets again while I fed the baby.
Cross your fingers that the vet can board him for the day!
YIKES – that sounds terrible….my best friends dog got sick on her treadmill and she has to scrub the poop out with a toothbrush of the treadmill grooves -i can only IMAGINE having to steam clean the carpets at 3 AM…..you poor thing, we’ll say a prayer for quick recovery for cooper, no more messes, and that ricks cough goes away!!!
