Traumatic Evening

Ok...note to self...when you can't find the puppy and then find her out chewing on "something"...go check right away. I found Coco had "stolen" from one of the neighbors a tube of Desitine Cream. She had eaten through the tube and most of the cream. She had it all over her legs and mouth...and smelled pretty strong of Desitine. Well...a short time later she started to throw up...and throw up...and throw up...and well, the other end also. (Not to be graphic but you get my point.) She threw up twice in my house but made it outside for all the other times. Then she just layed around and hardly moved...making me pretty nervous. You could tell that she just didn't feel good.

Now...as I am worrying over Coco our carbon monoxide detector went off and wouldn't quit. Oh great...frantically calling my neighbor to see who I call...(she just had to call a few months earlier)...she says, "Check your batteries." Ok....so I have NO double A batteries in my house....I am sooooo not prepared for an emergency can you tell...What an eye opener!! I ran to the neighbors and borrowed some batteries from them and also an extra CO detector from another neighbor. The batteries were the problem thank heavens!!

Man it has been a traumatic night...and also, an eye opening experience that I need to go through some "basics" around our house and see what we have and need. Also, I need to take heed to council from a General Authority that came a few months ago and talked to our stake and then our stake president reminded us again Sunday to have a GOOD supply of water!!

By the way when I ran to the neighbors...Coco ran with me...and jumped around a dog out for a walk....I think she is feeling better and over it for the most part.

I have had enough for tonight....I am going to bed!!

  2. Boy, desitine would wipe anyone out! I HATE the smell of that stuff. Glad she's okay! I love the football background! (Is it ironic that I'm having another girl when I am the one girl born to have boys? What on earth?)
