Poor Poor Pitiful Puppy

Remember the whole ALPO thing from an earlier post? Well I bought some cheap ALPO food in an effort to find something-anything that Russ would eat. Well Russ liked it, so I brought a can or 2 home. Yesterday morning, Kathy split a can between the 3 Cardi residents and let's just say 3 out of 3 liked the taste but 2 out of 3 expressed systems displeasure.

So after running a bunch of errands, we came home of find a great big Music accident in the dining room and well Shaker let's say had not been able to hold it in his crate. Kathy didn't realize the extent of ALPO incident, so she picked up Shaker to take him outside. As soon as she was outside she immediately became aware that she had remnants of the ALPO incident on her shirt. Oh my...can you spell unhappy?



We all came back inside where upon Kathy went to change her clothes and I dumped Shaker into the bath tub. For a dog that totally loves water, he certainly didn't think much of the bathtub. But he officially smells good again.



But all of this is just a back drop to the real story. With the whole stomach upset caused by the ALPO, we withheld dinner for Music and Shaker. (Russ got a Whole Meal bone and was a happy dog.) So this morning, Butterball --ooops sorry I mean Shaker, was absolutely sure he was starving to death, and if we didn't feed immediately he was going to wither away to nothing. Yeah yeah--I know that Butterball isn't going to melt away but well you have to know him...check out the video.
