Since you all get a kick out of laughing at my distress... just kidding :-) I'll be laughing at you gagging as you read this!!!
Background: Kerzon is our Bengal male that we kept as a pet because he is one in a million. We adore him. He even lets Isaac pull and tug on him. Anyway, recently he has taken to puking after he eats. Not often, but when you hear him holler, you'd better run.
The other day Mom was over and he started yowling on the back of the couch. I grabbed one of Isaac's stacking bowls on my dash to save the couch, and deftly caught the puke in the bowl. Impressed? I was :-)
So this morning, Kerzon starts howling again (the girls know exactly what it means!) and we started the mad dash to find him. He's on the edge of the couch, I have no bowl, so I grabbed him and swung towards the vinyl (is that the right word? Or laminate?) floor in front of the door. But I was too late. As I swung, up it all came, and sprayed all over the couch, the carpet, and me. YUCK- but at least it was mostly still chunks of food... I sent Melia to get some wipes while I tried to stand perfectly still so as not to make a bigger mess. She brought me 3 (only 3?) wipes and I tried cleaning it up... then gave up... and called Ziva. She loves cat food... even the second time around. ;-) She made quick work (probably thought she was getting dessert before breakfast!) of the barf, and with a little encouraging even cleaned off the couch. I then was able to use the wipes and scrub off the stain. Here's some snippets of the girls as I was working:
Melia: It's sure good that we have Ziva!
Kiera: Yeah, she's such a nice dog!
Me (in my head): Yep, she cleans up the messes I don't want to! (ie. under Isaac's highchair, cat puke, broken eggs..) She's a great dog!
Kiera: Whoa, I almost threw up! But I pushed it back down. That was a good catch!
Me: That was a VERY good catch! Thank you Kiera! :-)
(I'm wondering if she'll be the one who's sensitive to throw-up smell...)
All this was before breakfast. For some reason, I'm just not hungry.... I think I'll go take a shower.

LOL...yea...that was gross hahaha!
I sure don't envy your before breakfast experience, I thought he was dieing. Leave it to Kiera, good catch, wait till papa Tim here's this one. g debbie
I'm sorry but I do love some of your stories. I think because I don't have the funny, gross stories you do. I guess i have to live vicariously throuh you. LOL I can sympathize with the cat puke thing though although I have never had a cat do anything other than hairballs :-) so that is something I think i will stick to experiencing only through your stories. :-) LOL
