At least we were in line before the iguana

As I mentioned previously, Logo gave us a run for our money this weekend. With all the things she eats, it's surprising that we don't live at the emergency vet, but Sunday afternoon she seemed uncomfortable and just "off." For a dog who can digest a Tupperware container without so much as a burp, this was a little concerning so we decided not to wait for the regular vet and took her into the doggy ER.

The initial x-rays showed that she had a lot of inflammation and gas in her intestines, which along with other symptoms indicated an obstruction. Not surprising at all for Logo! They were going to operate sometime after 10 pm, but shortly after we left, she, um, relieved the pressure and got things moving on her own. I feel not so guilty for them having to clean up this mess since the doggy ER costs a pretty penny. The vet left a message at about 2 am saying that her second x-rays looked a lot better and that they were going to hold off on operating and reevaluate in the morning.

She ate breakfast without consequence (I had to explain to the vet that for Logo that's not really a big deal--eating is more like breathing. If she's not doing it, she must be dead). After a little more rehydrating she came home this afternoon, tired but none the worse for the wear.

Recovering from the excitement of the weekend:


(Yeah, I know she LOOKS dead here, but that's pretty much normal. It's when she doesn't look like that that we know something is wrong).

And a bonus picture of Harry, aka The Good One, lounging on the couch.
