Beware, dog vomit story ahead.
Last Sunday I shampooed the family room carpet. Velcro had puked on it a few weeks before. And it had gotten pretty colorful from the boys spilling things on it. So I decided it was time to clean it. It looked fabulous for 5.5 days.
Today, Velcro puked on it again. I am not sympathetic. He went from the front door (tile) through the living room and dining room (cork) through the kitchen (linoleum) past the backdoor (aka exit to deck and grass) into the back corner of the family room (carpet). Had he thrown up on any of those other surfaces, I would feel bad for him. And I had just had the door open and he showed no interest in going out at all.
Then in the moment it took me to go into the garage and come back with stuff, he made a new orange stain on the carpet. Getting to it immediately with carpet cleaner didn't prevent that stain. And he had started to eat it! Yuck!!!
What is wrong with my dog? He used to have good sick doggy behavior. Throw up right by the back door on an easy to clean surface, good boy. He would get sympathy. I would sing his praises on what a kind, thoughtful doggy he was. Lately, he heads to the back of the family room. He always goes past the back door without asking to go out. What is wrong with my doggy?
And why does the dog food manufacturer keep changing the formula of his senior dog food and upsetting his delicate tummy?
Poor Velcro. He really is a good dog. But why can't he stop at the back door anymore? His tummy seems to be all better now.

poor little guy. he's so cute, though, that you have to forgive him. that smile! those short little legs!
they seem to puke where they're most comfortable, which unfortunately is a carpeted area. i assume you have "nature's miracle," which really does get not only the stain but also the stink out of the carpet. (you can get it at most pet stores, but you can also order it online if you can't find it.)
if you can switch velcro to a petfood that doesn't have very many ingredients, that can help keep the stomach calm, too. boscoe can't tolerate anything elaborate; he eats only lamb-and-rice. nothing else. no corn, no grains, no additives.
came here for fun monday ad scrolled down...poor velcro! and what a terrific name! Laurie has all the doggie answers, I just wanted to say hi to the pup!
