I really want to post about something totally gross that one of our dogs ingested and excreted, explaining the last three days of doggy diarrhoea, but it's so disgusting I can't bring myself to type it, and thinking about it is making me sick - so watch this space and come back and be grossed out.
Ok, so I'm brave now - one of the dogs had extended diarrhoea for a few days - it finally clicked that it might be connected to the chicken she'd bin raided (well, I'm hoping she didn't climb on someone's table and make of with their dinner). She might have a chicken bone stuck, or something. But no, worse than that - my brave husband was down the side of the house (thank god, we'd just had the garden done, so they've been banished to the side - Jack Russells apparently shit 2/3 of their body weight daily, and I'd well believe it!) and was manfully cleaning up poo, when he found, to his disgust and horror - a WHOLE CHICKEN CLAW INA POO. My dog had seemingly swallowed the whole claw, and excreted it.
BARF!!
I think I'll leave it at that, what more can I say - this is horrible, but at this stage, husband and myself are really just waiting for our dogs to die. Preferably at night, so we don't have to deal with it!
I know that sounds horrible, but we spent a grand trying to keep one brother alive a few years ago, only to have to put him down in the end. Having kids has stopped me being a dog person for some reason. I hate myself for it a bit, but I'd just like some freedom at this stage!

I was considering getting a cute little puppy (they're all cute aren't they?) until I read this. You have made me re-think jothemama!
oh yuk....but in China they eat chicken feet!
Jo, you aren't a bad person, we had two cats we'd had them for four years, they were total house pets, and when our first babe was born we realised we couldn't give them the attention they needed, so we gave them to a lovely friend who wanted pets at the time, it worked out well for everyone!
