[NAGDU] Update on my pup

[S L Johnson]

Marsha,

I am so glad to hear that your girl is back home and slowly recovering from 
her ordeal.  Sometimes no matter how well we have trained them, they take 
advantage when someone else is watching them.  They can be very sneaky.  I 
once left one of my dogs with a friend while I was in the hospital too sick 
to have her with me.  She somehow got the bottom kitchen cabinet opened and 
got into a large box of cocoa mix.  She also eat a dish of peanut butter 
cups.  I also had a very sick pup and it was up to my friend to take care of 
the little piggy because I was still in the hospital.  I am sure those 
taking care of your dog felt as guilty as my friend did.  I am also sorry to 
hear that you are sick too.  I wish both you and your pup a speedy recovery. 
Oh and thank God for your wonderful husband taking such good care of you 
both.

Sandra and Eva

Hi List,

Thank you to all those that prayed, sent good thoughts, or get well bives on 
the list, emails or in text messages. I am so ready for this week to be 
over. But I am very happy to report that pup is now home with me. She did 
not have any complications like seizures, tremours, or fast heart rate. She 
has had diarrhea and is on a very bland diet. But my girl is home. So to 
explain more as my message was very short. My dog is a 6 year old black lab 
cross from GDF. My husband I had left my puppy with a family who has watched 
her before, of course they love dogs. We were going to the beach, and 
thought it would be a good idea for my pup to have her own little vacation. 
I travel alot for work, so she works long days. Now this is what I do, not 
what others have to do. Please don't judge. my puppy had snagged a bag of 
items that were purchased at the store off the counter. No one was looking 
so she decided to eat the whole bag. The bag contained 12 ounces of dark 
semi sweet baking chocolate, a bag of carmel pieces, and a bag of pretzels. 
Pup ate the whole bag, plastic and all. The mom in the family saw right away 
what had happened, called my vet, which recommended that she be taken to the 
nearest clinic. They were able to make her throw up, gave her the charcoal, 
and observe her. This all happened on Monday, the day that my husband I were 
to come home. Pup stayed in the hospital for a few days and is now home. Pup 
is very happy to be home, but is definately not acting her self. I was in 
contact with the folks over at the GDF, so they are aware of everything that 
went on. It was very scarey. Of course this couuld happened anywhere at any 
time. My pup was being very sneaky, which she can be sometimes.

Also, if my pup had done this with me present, I would of course have given 
her the peroxide. We have some in a kit for emergencies on all levels of our 
home. But this did not happen with me around. I also didn't know that the 
subject of the thread had been changed, so didn't see all the messages on 
list.

As I mentioned above, I am ready for the week to be over. I am now sick 
myself too. My normal bronchitis in the fall. My poor hubby, now taking care 
of both of us.

Thanks again for the support.
