The Pepto

Some times.... Reggie gets sick to his stomach. There is no way to tell what it is that is making him barf. Too much air ... for all I know. Bottom line, it's gross. And makes me paranoid about taking him places or him eating/drinking to fast or walking to much, or sitting the wrong way... cuz he might barf. That's a lot of paranoia.

The other day I did an interview with a volunteer who also has an old bull dog. She explained that they have the same issue! And to solve this barfing-with-no-determinable-triggers issue, they starting giving their dog pepto-tablets. GENIUS! Ben was also excited about this idea.... but we didn't have any tablets.

Now... mind you, Reggie will eat anything. Paper, plastic, aluminum. You name it. BUT HE WON'T EAT PEPTO. It was so nuts. So had to work on trying to find ways to trick him into eating it. Ultimately he would get a lick of it and go 'Nope - that's got pepto in it. Nice try'.
Blast this Dog!!
This is Pepto pedigree. You can see him sniff it and ...

Nope... Nice try..
What is REALLY strange - is that we have a dog that will he aluminum wrapers but not Pepto - and another dog that barely will eat her dog food but LOVES PEPTO!
Notice her pink beard.
Okay - I know this looks gross. But it worked. We made multi grain, honey smoked turkey, and pedigree pepto sandwich....aaaannnddddd....
HE ATE IT! Swallowed the dang thing whole.... but he hasn't barfed in like 3 days.
Reggie doesn't like being tricked....
