So, in less than a week's time Rommel has gotten into trouble
big time!!!My buddy Bob and I went up north last week to tear down a fish tank that we set up every spring in the office of a Lake Huron resort owned by another friend of mine.
When we go up north Bob's parents, who live across the street from me, take care of my dogs.
Well, Grizzly and even Hunter were easy....Rommel, not so much
He likes to get into things, I believe out of spite sometimes.
I had mentioned to Bob's dad that he had to make sure the ceramic jar that the Milkbones are kept in is out of Rommel's reach.
We get home last Thursday and the jar had been broken and Rommel ate a whole box of dog treats...he also must have eaten some of the ceramic shards because he had blood in his stool. That's all cleared up now....and so was my wallet.
This evening I had to run out for about an hour and was in a hurry to get back to watch the Tigers.
Big mistake, being in a hurry!!! I inadvertently left an almost full bag of cashews on the dining room table....I thought out of Rommel's reach.....
nope!!!!So I call the vet and they say that's not good....the high fat content is really bad for dogs and can
possibly lead to short term pancreas issues. So now I'll be up all night keeping an eye on him for signs of distress....hopefully it will pass (pun intended). I'm feeding him some white rice with skim milk...both fat free...to help get things moving (again, pun intended).
I am hoping my wallet does not get substantially lighter again this week.
I guess I got very spoiled with Grizzly being such a well behaved dog...and Hunter too for that matter.
I will just have to be more diligent with Rommel and make sure there is nothing for him to get into when I leave.
