[nagdu] All the things you never learned at guide dog school...

[Deanna Lewis]

Lisa,
Speaking of dog vomit...
Yesterday, I was on the phone and I saw that Mambo was eating something off the floor. I have dark carpeting, so I could tell it was something white. Well, he will occasionally get tissues out of the garbage, so I thought it was just a tissue. So, I reached down to grab it away from him, except it was all chunky and slimy. Ewww, I had just stuck my hand in puke! Luckily, I was on the phone with another guide dog handler, so I told her that I would have to call her back since my dog had just puked.  Luckily, my dogs don't get sick often, but when they do, that's one of the most fun things about being a guide dog handler, NOT, LOL!
Deanna and Mambo

Hi Daryl,

you better not quote me but sum it up using better English than I do but what I never learnt at guide dog school was:

How to understand the signs of a dog getting sick just in time to bring him to an area without carpet or blankets on the floor, How to find the right moment between letting the dog finish throwing up and preventing him from eating what he just produced and how to find out what caused the sickness by examining what he had eaten while cleaning it up.

Well, this is an extremely disgusting topic so you might not want to mention it in your post and I would understand that. :-)

take care,

Lisa
