Lupi, oh Lupi

Well...this post will be all about the trials and tribulations of my Lupi dog.

A couple weeks ago, Bailey got some stomach bug (yes, again) and she was pretty sick. I thought it was something she ate (yes, again), until Lupi got REALLY sick. Poor Lupi couldn't keep down food, water, or anything. I got a little scared when she was throwing up water and took her to an emergency vet clinic. Let's just say, I'm glad I went, because Lupi then began excreting blood. This is apparently normal in dogs, but really scary to see. She got a shot of anti-nausea medication and some other pills and was perfectly normal about 2 days later.

Then...about 5 days after that, she was back to her tree climbing ways. She went out on a super skinny branch that even a cat would have questioned. She was up there chasing a squirrel and making me lose my mind for about 5 minutes. Some guys at the dog park came over to "help". I say "help" because one guy asked, "do you want me to call the fire department?" All I could say was, "um...no thanks."

Lupi slipped and fell, landing on all fours (like the cat she is). She yelped, and limped for about 5 minutes. I carried her out of the dog park, while Bailey tried to jump in my arms too (thanks Bailey), and by the time we got home she was fine. No more limping, no whining, just...normal. I can only estimate that she fell about 20 ft. but it could have been higher (I'm not the best judge of things like that).

I thought it might break her of her climbing habit, but we were back to our old tricks today, teasing a squirrel.

There is truly no dog like my Lupi dog...
