[Your-dog-A-Splode]
August 18th, 2005Our dog’s got this weird habit of opposite fasting every now and then.
Yes, opposite.
She eats and drinks…. she just doesn’t let anything come out the other end
The first time this happened we were pretty damn worried and we took her to the vet.
The vet told us her blatter was definately very full but it wasn’t pressured so apparantly there was still room left in there even. She told us to not worry, and that she’d go eventually.
Ofcourse after we payed the vet bill and walked out of the office, she did everything rightaway
She’s managed to keep everything in for 48 hours…
I guess this amazing ability might have something to do with her years in the shelter.
According to the guy there they’d usually have people come by every day but occasionally they’d skip a sunday. All of the other dogs ‘d do their “thing” in the kennel and the shelter workers would clean it up the next day, but Sophie always refused to “go” in her kennel.
Anyways, she did it again. managed to not “go” for 2 days.
You try to just be as stubborn as her and not worry, but man it gets on your nerves when she does that.
Especially in the eve, because you know you won’t sleep because you’re expecting her to start whining at 3 AM or something silly like that.
But finally today, relief for all of us.
She didn’t go this morn but about 20 mins ago she started whining and trying to make it clear to me that it was finally time. And indeed. Pee’d a river and poo’d a mountain.
Uber insta-joy afterwards.
She’s such a weird friggin dog…
