Oh how quickly the tide turns....

I am sorry that I haven't been up to snuff on my email responses and blog comments. I had such a busy, wonderful weekend...that I should have know the other shoe would drop soon. And such is life. Charlotte has had HORRIBLE diarrhea, vomiting, and blood in her stool (SOUND FAMILIAR??!!!!). She had a horrible accident in her crate this afternoon and it's getting worse. I am yet to take her to the vet since I think it has to do with her new food (I did go myself to the vet to ask them what to do and they suggested the bland prescription food since it sounded like tummy issues due to new food also) So I spent almost all day today

  • Trying to get the stench of doggie grossness out of the house
  • Washing a crate and filthy dog who is scared of the water sprayer
  • Trying to dry a dog in this chilly weather with a blow dryer that she is also...you guessed it scared of!
  • Bleaching her bed, towels and floor!!!
(I have babysat and nannied for MANY years and have had my share of gross, stinky accidents. But I will take an exploding diaper any day....this smell makes me want to throw up!!!) If it gets worse tonight...I'm taking her to the emergency vet. I have images of Ellie being sick flashing before my eyes! I know there is no Way I can have 2 dogs with this rare disease...but the similarities are uncanny! Please send good vibes Charlotte's way!!! Update: It's 12:30 am and just got back from taking her outside....still not doing so good....ughh!
