Best Bang For The Buck Home Theater Reciever Canines and canoes

Well, if you're ever thinking about Taking a rambunctious 60 + pound dog canoeing, do not. We tried this and Last Monday night about 10 minutes.

This weekend, I'm supposed to go up to the Chicago area to see Some relative. So I've been looking for a place to board the dog. Maybe I'll try doggie daycare up there.

Trailers In N.ireland Making the news, sort of

On Saturday, [info] flattie and I did Mutt Strut in Centennial Park and she got her picture in the NG.

That night, she got really sick - She Was throwing up so Badly That She Could not keep down events fluids. We ended up going to the emergency vet in the wee hours of the morning Where She Got Some subcutaneous fluids and shots to stop the vomit. She Spent MOST of Sunday sleeping and WAS still pretty lethargic on Monday. She Also Had Some bloody diarrhea, so we jump up to her regular vet. They Seem To Think That It Was a nasty case of gastroenteritis and Remembered That she'd Had a problem with clostridium before. So they prescribed some metronidazole and other stuff to calm her GI tract. By that point, she was able to keep some water and Pedialyte down, but she still hadn't eaten. My neighbor, who's an animal science grad student, suggested cooking some white rice and lean meat. It seemed like a good sign when Aoife got very interested while it was cooking, and when I put a little down in front of her, it disappeared quickly. She perked up yesterday, and the diarrhea seems to be (hopefully) gone today.

Happiness is a healthy puppy.
