Poor Izzy got sick last week. I am not sure if it was the new treats I bought at the store or if she was stressed at being home again and re-adjusting. One thing I am sure of is that when the metal kennel we bought claimed it was "easy to clean in case of accidents" I never though it might be lying. Actually, I never though that "easy to clean" would actually apply to me. The plastic tray in the bottom slides out. cool. so if she has an accident I just have to slide the tray out. Rock on. Whatever. Like that's gonna happen, dog is already house broken. I did not, however, stop to think "well what happens if the accident ISN'T on the tray" or "Well what if she gets sick and can't help it?". no. never thought of that. Until Mike called me from home and asked how far out I was. It was my birthday so I thought it was a fancy schmancy dinner invitation. It wasn't. it was a plea for help. Somehow, when Izzy got sick, she managed to get it all over the back of her kennel and the wall behind it. Yes, I spent my birthday scrubbing walls and trying to get my fingers in between the black metal/wire frame of her kennel. it was not "easy to clean" it was a nightmare and I hope I never have to do it again. I should have just thrown it in the shower or something (that thought didn't apply to my either as I sat there flossing between the wires with a hot soapy rag forever).
She got over it almost overnight, she showed improvement the next morning and was fine by that night. The only smells I have to worry about now is her gas. ugh, I used to wonder how she could stand smelling it since her nose is better then mine, but apparently she deals with it the same way we do (account given by Mike):
Izzy was laying on the couch sleeping and I heard this loud noise, and as I turned to see what it was I realized it was an epic dog fart, right after it happened, Izzy woke up, growled at her ass, and ran to the other side of the couch and buried her face in the pillows.
Lesson Learned, this is another person who cant have vegetarian re-fried beans.
