The big dope decided he wanted to plant rhubarb a few weeks ago. Mistake number 1.
The big dope looked at his rhubarb on Memorial Day and thought it could use a little water. So, he left a hose with a little running water at the base of the rhubarb. Mistake number 2.
Attracted by the pool of water which was forming around the base of the rhubarb, I wade in. Mistake number 3.
Then I dig and splash around. No mistake here, at least, not so much.
But then I decide to eat the rhubarb. Mistake number 4.
The fourth mistake was the really bad one. Everything else was just an accident waiting to happen. Like tort lawyers say: "Everywhere I look, I see litigation waiting to happen."
So, the pics below are what I looked like just after the big dope stopped me. He and the sweetheart both thought I looked cute. They weren't thinking about what it was I just ate. What a dope!
Anyway, the rhubarb gave me pretty bad gastrointestinal distress which didn't really manifest itself until about 4 am, when I let loose in my crate. No one woke up until about 5:30. And their hearts sank with the prospect of the cleaning job in front of them early in the morning on the first day back to work after a long weekend.
It took them until Tuesday evening to determine that the cause of my problem was probably the rhubarb. They decided to let me ride it out. Hah! By Thursday, they decided that I should go to the vet. They gave me metronidazole (what?) for the rhubarb and that makes no sense to me since it is an antibacterial. The vet said it would help to ease the distress in my bowels. And, maybe it did. Now, I haven't gone since Thursday at 2 pm (as I write this it is Saturday morning at 8 am).
Well, enjoy the pictures. It was what I looked like the last time I felt good. And, by the way, I lost six pounds since Monday, from 34 to 28 pounds. That diarrhea will get you every time.

HAHA bronwyn does look pretty cute there! and she definitely looks like she's getting bigger!!!
poor puppy though, and bummer about the rhubarb....they're pretty tasty in cobblers and pies!
Not the leaves! Only the stems are edible.
Bronwyn looks a lot different after losing all the weight due to the diarrhea. She looks like a little Ethiopian dog.
those pictures are sooo cute! hopefully bronwyn looks better now that its been a couple of days.
Bronwyn gets cuter and cuter (and bigger and bigger) with every picture that is taken. Can't wait to see her in August when she's a giant!
Glad she's feeling better... those danged rhubarbs get you ever time.
