Hi Furiends! I hope everyone had a super Christmas and got lots of luvs! We had a nice relaxing day and got some nice crunchy bones. Also, I reeseeved these speshul steps a couple of days before Christmas, so I can walk up onto the couch! Mom and Dad have been showing me how to go up and down them. I think I’m getting the hang of it, BOL!
So, I have to tell you about something serious. I’m ashamed to say that on Tuesday late at night I was very, very naughty and ate quite a bit of my boy’s choclit orangey he got in his Christmas stocking. It looked like this before I eated it (isn’t it pretty and nomable-looking?):

Everyone knows choclit can be super bad for doggies. My boy really thought he put the choclit up where I couldn’t get it but I still did (and I won’t tell how, it’s a secret!). I felt okay but Mom was conserned and stayed up most of the night to make sure I wasn’t hurted. Then the next day at lunchtime Mom noticed I was shivering all over, so we had to go to the doctor. We waited a long long time there and I ran around in the doctor room and barked and barked and then the doctor came and he lissened to my middle and said the choclit hadn’t affected me; but he poked my back and said it seemed to be hurted and that was why I was shivering, and he gave me some meduseens for it. He said I shouldn’t jump or go for walkies for 3 WHOLE WEEKS.
AND THEN, we came home and I BARFED a whole bunch of times on the rug and the couch and 3 blankies and my new steps! When Mom put me outside I didn’t feel like barfing, but when I came in I did. I was very thirsty too and kept getting lots of drinks and that made me MORE barfier. Mom had to clean up all the barfs and at the same time try to make me stay on my pillow without jumping, and she was also trying to help our boy with his new i-thingy that makes moosiks. He was grumpy with his i-thingy because he didn’t know how to make it go and I was barfy and Mom was very conserned (and, well, she was cleaning up BARFS) and we were all very tired at the end of the day! Mom thinks the combinashun of choclit and my being upset at the doctor’s was too much for my tummy.
Wednesday evening I did a lot of resting until my tummy felt better and I had a good sleep all night, but I did want some extra snuggles with Mom early Thursday morning. I had barfed on all my blankies so I could only have towels on my pillow to cover me! I’ve been trying really hard to remember to use my speshul steps instead of jumping up, so I don’t make my back more hurted, but sometimes I forget. And I went into my boy’s room looking for more choclit – I feel pretty silly about that, but choclit sure is nomable! Gosh, I’m 12 whole years old, you’d think that would be old enough to know better!
Everyone is happy and releeved that I’m okay (me included!) I’m feeling pretty well and did eat some of my foodables. We’re hoping everything is fine now.
The only problem now is that Mom thinks there may still be some barfs under the couch because it smells funny there. The cushuns can’t be remooved, so Dad will have to lift it up for her so she can make sure she cleaned all of it. Mom says “ewww”.
IMPAWTANT!!

So Furiends, PLEASE don’t eat any choclit if you happen to find some! It tastes sooo nomable, but it can be super-duper dangerus for us doggies and kittycats! And moms and dads, make sure all the choclit is put away carefully so your doggy or kittycat can’t nom it, and ask your doctor about what to do and what products to have on hand to help if your doggy or kittycat eats something they shouldn’t.
Thanks for reading this long postie, Furiends! We sure hope all of you have a safe and fun New Year’s Eve, with only delishus nutrishus foodables, and no fireworks in your nayborhood!
