Pugsley was really gross last night. The poor little fellow is having some digestive issues. I got a call at work from his Nanny informing me that he was hunched over in stomach pain all day with really bad gas and had been eating a lot of grass. Dogs do this when their stomachs are upset to try to add roughage to their diet. He gets gastritis attacks like a lot of older pugs do. I come home and his gas was so potent I almost started dry heaving. I take him outside and he eliminates, it’s half formed and half runny. A solid piece was left hanging, it was stuck there and he couldn’t squeeze it out on his own. I had no choice but to grab a leaf and pull it out of his ass. I looked and there was some grass poking out, so I had to remove that too! About an hour later, he pukes, green bile on my carpet and he started licking it. I got the resolve out and cleaned up the mess. About 15 minutes later and he puked again. This time a giant gob of green stuff came out in a pile and before I could sprint for the paper towels and Resolve carpet cleaner again, he started eating it!!! He Swallowed. By 9:00 pm he was curled up in a little ball at the foot of my bed looking very sorrowful. It’s not easy being a pug.

Janesca......your comment made me laugh so hard...holy crap!!!
Lori....although I feel so sorry for Pugsley right now, it didn't stop me from cracking up picturing you having to do all that.
Seriously.....Did you change his food? Give him a new treat from his B-Day? What is making him sick? My animals do that same thing--the part about the grass. But I never change anything for them, so I cannot even think what it could be.
Adios!!

Poor pug -- poor you! To heck with my poo stories - you win -- that was nasty!
Lori commented July 8, 2005 12:55 PM

how perfectly disgusting!
Lori commented July 9, 2005 10:47 AM
if you think thats bad someday I'll tell you about what happens when his anal sacs get full and have to be emptied!
Toni commented July 9, 2005 12:18 PM
Lori, sounds like anal sac drains may be worthy of a blog -- not sure anyone can stomach it. Sorry, I know you love pugsley but that just sounds disgusting!
Lori commented July 9, 2005 01:07 PM
What, it’s not much different than popping a zit. Place the thumb and forefinger just outside the anus at 10:00 o’clock and 2:00 o’clock then gently squeeze. It’s only really gross when some comes squirting out and hits you in the eye!!

OMG!!! F-in' cracking up over here!! You see, nothing grosses me out--NOTHING! And these real-life, drama-happening, detail-oriented stories are frigin hilarious to me. Am I gross? Don't answer!!
People--please have a sense of humor. You seriously cannot be grossed out!!!

It's funny this is not gross to me at all. I had to deal with this exact thing with felisha and only once with Giz so far. It doesn't bother me, cleaning the poop and the puke.

I forgot to say...I hope Pugsley is feeling better soon...the poor little guy :(

You have one hell of dog Lori. The poor thing. Hope he feels better.
