My poor Sassy had a similar incident New Years Eve/New Years Morning. But not in public, thankfully.
My best friend has a new 'cottage' guest house. She is an interior designer and has worked on this place for many months now. Did a wonderfully fabulous job, I must say. It is beautiful.
Well, we were invited to spend the night...went to the guest house around 12:30 in the morning. Rolled up all the rugs so Sassy wouldn't be tempted. She assured me there wouldn't be anything to worry about.....aaaahhhh.
Along about 3:30 in the am Sassy kept wanting out of bed. She never goes potty at night so it never crossed my mind that she might 'need' to. In my mind she was wanting to 'explore' her surroundings. Then she climbed onto the table next to the bed, which I thought was because of the chocolates she had found there when we first came in. I caught that though so averted that potential situation. I thought she was off smelling for chocolate again. I reached out and got her and was pulling her back to me and......have you guessed??
Poor baby had diarrhea....all over the pretty linens and the pillow. Egad! I went from half asleep to wide awake at the speed of light! Didn't know what to do. No doggie (oatmeal) shampoo, blow dryer...and it is freezing outside. What to do, what to do???!!!!
I wrapped her tightly in a towel and put her on the chair and told her to stay while I tried to get it off my PJs. She is usually so good and listens to "Stay' but not then. Nope.....She rolled off and hit the floor giving me a near cardiac arrest. What a blessing it was a thick and soft towel. Now I pick her up and carry her around with me.
I pulled the linen from the bed and stuffed it in the trash can from the kitchen (which was new and clean) and went to start my van to go home and clean everything as I absolutely couldn't bear to wake my friend at that time of the morning.
AAaaacccckkk!! There was ICE all over the van, had to scrape it with a CC, get it warmed inside, load the linen, alll the while carrying this stinky
Yorkie wrapped in a towel.
Well, we got home, bathed, blow dried, washed linen and rushed back up the hill and made the bed again just before they got up. How's that for a HAPPY NEW YEAR!?!
Actually, I do believe Sassy was nearly as distressed as me. She really wanted off of that bed. So it was all my fault and not hers at all. I actually believe the diarrhea was caused from getting beef for dinner for the first time in a while. We need to work slowly back into it, I guess?
