Going to be a long week

Ali and Shugs dropped off Sadie last night after work and hung around a bit to talk which was nice.  When I was at Ali’s party they had mentioned that Sadie just started up with some GI issues as in explosive diarrhea.  When they dropped her off last night they said it was a “little better”.  Well that was not my experience.

Sadie has always had a sensitive stomach which has resulted in runny results randomly but this was not that.  This was akin to what I experienced during colonoscopy prep, liquid and at regular intervals, fantastic.  Sadie does let me know when she has to go which is a good thing, as long as you don’t require any sustained sleep to function that is.  I may have gotten three hours of sleep last night with me taking her out every couple hours it seemed.  When I would return to bed each time I couldn’t fall back asleep as my mind was thinking about how long it would be until she was waking me up again.  It was pretty miserable.

After the last go round between 3-4 AM I left the bedroom door open and cracked the door on the lanai so she could get out and do her business unassisted if needed which she did not take advantage of.  Instead I was startled out of my brief sleep by the sound of around a 5 second wet fart that was followed by a smell so rancid I had to hold the pillow over my face like I was trying to suffocate myself, just to insulate my nose from the stench.  I did mention it was a miserable night?

Normally when Sadie’s BMs get “loose” we switch her to a rice and boiled chicken diet, neither of which I have.  I don’t think I even have a rice steamer at this point.  I am hoping I can get out a little early and grab rice/chicken on the way home to make this workable.  I have her until Sunday night so I can’t have this be a groudhogs day scenario as I need at least some sleep to function at a base level at work.
