OMG Look what my baby swallowed!!!

Hi Bentley,
Thanks for the well wishes. I don't know about you, but after I threw up that bone, I didn't want anything to do with it. I stayed away from it, as far away as I could get. I stayed close to my momma's side the whole weekend like I always do when I'm sick. I'm glad you're feeling better from the drippings from the chicken soup. It doesn't seem like we learn our lessons...

Just a few weeks back, I licked the chicken fat drippings my momma skimmed off the top of her poached chicken for Chicken noodle soup. It was only there for about 2 minutes before Mom closed the bag and made daddy take it outside so I had to act fast . Boy did I regret it when we went out that afternoon for our daily errands. Momma was wishing she had gotten those leather seats in her car instead of the soft cloth ones

I am so glad your baby is okay. Our Penny puts everything in her mouth and it scares me. Can you explain what the pumpkin does. I have seen others refer to pumpkin but don't understand. I myself love pumpkin and it will give me the runs. LOL.

O boy what a scare, so glad he is okay....I hate leaving Shay with anyone, for fear something like this will happen, I know could happen with me too, but like you have said, I child proofed my house too...

Thanks for your kind words. For dogs canned pumpkin (just a teaspoon) it seems to calm down their tummy. It helps firm up their stool or it will also help them go to the bathroom if they are having problems going. It's one of natures miracles (in my opinion). It's one of the first things I grab whenever Bailey is sick with the runs and has always helped! I hope that has answered your question, but i'm sure there will be others on here that will also answer better than me...

Make sure the canned pumpkin is the NON pie kind. It has to be 100% puree pumpkin NO cinnamon or sugars. There was a shortage this year and will roll into the next year due to floods in midwest where they are largely grown. Go to Trader Joes, their farms are not located there and I believe are organic so no shortage there.

Also, once you open the can, use a spoon or melonballer and scoop out the pumpkin and freeze them in little individual serving size balls for next time. That way you don't have to throw away any or buy a new can every time and already have them on hand. They seem to like the frozen pumpkin too.

Glad Bailey is doing better. Once Uni found a chicken bone on the carpet (thanks to BIL) and when I took it away from her she growled like it was the best thing she ever had tasted in her life. Oh she was so PO'd. LOL

Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it!

Thank God your Bailey is ok...I know how scary that have been for you.

Oh My! That is huge...for a Yorkie.
I am so relieved everything turned out as it did.
