  1. Allie Has a Tummy Ache

    July 18, 2011 by Rod Peckman

    My dog has the constitution of a Spartan soldier. In the 5 years since I’ve rescued her, her worst affliction has been the occasional ear infection. Last Friday was different. She must have eaten a poisonous plant because she came down with the worst case of, let’s call it, gastric distress I’ve ever seen in a dog. For the first time since I brought her home, she had an accident in the house—actually, she had many, many accidents. She redecorated the place. I opened the door and was hit by the stench and she came to me hanging her head in guilt. I felt so bad for the girl. Not her fault, after all. She seemed fine by that time, so I didn’t call the vet;but the next day I did buy a steam-vac.
