The erks are making the rounds...

There have been a few cases of the “erks” going around blog land, including Stuart and Sidebite.

While I have been well Floyd has woken the family up two nights this week with the erks.

The first time he woke us all up at 4 o’clock in the morning and threw up a large lump of unchewed food... What a silly dawg! He inhales his food SO quickly that he forgets to chew and makes himself sick!

Again at 4 o’clock the next night he was erking and erking and eventually threw up something black and rough. The humans had a closer look and found out it was a piece of the doormat from the back door which was mysteriously found in several pieces that afternoon.

You can imagine how impressed we all were, to be woken in the middle of the night because Floyd was silly enough to try and find out what the doormat tasted like!!

From the result I guess it didn’t taste too good...

On a serious note, Floyd is actually lucky he was able to bring it back up and that it didn’t get stuck inside him somewhere and cause a blockage; silly boy.

We would have been very upset had he made himself
seriously sick <3

Also, our palls Susie and Sidebite have asked us to pass on a warning to all the doggies and doggie owners out there. Poor Bites was sick with Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis and was luckily taken to the dogster in time or there could have been a very sad ending to his story.

The symptoms for Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis are profuse vomiting, followed by depression and bloody diarrhoea with a foul order; if you know a pup who is suffering from these they need medical attention quick smart! Don’t muck around get them to the vet!

On that note I hope you are all well and stay that way so you can enjoy your weekend.
