Kennel Recommendation

7/20/2012

1 Comment

 
This past weekend we left for an overnight trip to hear Greg Brown at Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah Iowa.  We had a great time, and I was able to relax knowing that our dogs Chance & Martin we being well taken care of.  I choose the Ames Pet Resort for their overnight stay.  I had been in previously for a tour, and I was very comfortable with their caring staff and the facilities.  My dog Chance had only stayed in a kennel one other time in his 15yrs, and it was due to a family emergency.   If you know of other top quality kennels in the Ankeny and Des Moines areas please let me know.

What do you do if your dog eats cooked bones?

Yesterday was quite a day, and after the burnt pork chops cooled off on their perch outside (in a pan...with a lid) Martin ate them. The supplies I gathered: Bread (from a neighbor...we were out), KY Lube (from my vet kit...yes it had thermometers shoved in it previously), Fleet baby enemas (not recommended... I was in experiment mode). I made sandwiches with the material - Ky/bread x 3 & enema/bread x 1. We'll see how it goes. I remember helping my boss with an abdominal surgery when I was in high school, and I hope Martin can avoid it. The dog had eaten a COOKED (raw is generally ok) bone & it perforated a section of intestine. YIKES!!!

Note:  Martin passed his 'goods' & is alive to talk about it.  -5/8/12
