Oh what a night...

Hello all!

Oh what a night... last night, Sunday, we had a little fiasco with the dog. On Friday we went to TGIF, and apparently this weekend was our get a bunch of free food from managers weekend, and Bryan got his whole steak meal for free because it was well done instead of medium. Well since we had a gift card and had planned on spending $13 for his dinner we decided to get the overly priced dark chocolate cupcakes that are $5 for 2. CRAZY!? LoL Anyways... so I had brought them into the bedroom and put them on my nightstand so that we could have them in a little while. Well... both of us left the room, forgetting the cupcakes were there, well Skye got one of them before Bryan caught her. Know chocolate can be deadly to dogs Bryan became very upset and called the vet's office. The vet called back and I talked to her about it. She said that a cupcake size amount would not be toxic to a dog Skye's size, but being that there was dark chocolate that is more toxic and to be very watchful. I mentioned to her that Skye has a very sensitive bowel, so she highly recommended we induce vomitting.
What an adventure... I think Bryan and I got more hydrogen peroxide on us and the patio than in her mouth. She recommended 3 TBS. of it and shaking her up a little. And try again in 15 minutes... well we went the first 15 with no response other than "let's play!!" So mom tried to shove her finger down her throat...that didn't work. We put my peroxide in her and started patting her back and sides... a little burping... but nothing. (are you waiting for the lovely details? Oh yes... I'm going to tell them....)

So it was cold last night so I just said forget it, if she's going to throw up let her do it inside and I'll clean it up. So apparently as pay back for making her drink the peroxide she was going to make me clean it up. We brought her in and put her in her kennel. Not even 2 minutes later she gave me two big piles to clean up, poor baby didn't get to digest any of her dinner, but the funny part is... while cleaning up, low and behild, darn near a whole cupcake still in the wrapper!? No wonder there weren't any crumbs on the floor. Now that's talent! LoL

So that's the news on the home front here.... we've been house hunting, but really nothing we like. Hopefully something will come on the market soon!

Chris and Sarah you are in our prayers! Thankful that he's ok!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Oh yea.. and I have an interview tomorrow at work to move up into a new position as a Workforce Management Specialist... wish me luck.. I'm sure I'll need it! Heh

Love,

Nikki & Bryan
