Poor little Mark is having some indigestion issues. Runny poo is the least fun part to deal with as a puppy raiser. Unfortunately, it seems like the one thing that I have to deal with every time I have a dog. Mark ended up having two accidents at Zamzow's (luckily out of jacket since it was a pet store) which were both so runny and soupy I could only feel bad for him. Luckily, I had Pepto Bismol!
Those little pink tablets have saved my puppies tummies more times than I can count. I love that easy fix but it doesn't make things too much easier on me. Usually Mark would be accompanying me to church this morning and I will most likely have to leave at him at home so that there is no chance of an accident in jacket. Poor little guy loves getting to go to church, but unless there's some solid stool this morning, that is not going to happen. :(
Those of you who read this and are not puppy raisers are probably not thrilled by reading about poop. As a coleader for our puppy raising club here, I have to be comfortable with the topic. Now something that used be uncomfortable for me is just something that I have to talk about and be aware of every day of my life.
You know you're a puppy raiser when.....

Haha! You definitely know you're a puppy raiser when you feel no awkwardness whatsoever when you read a post about poop. It just felt natural to listen to this for me. :)
It is always a very strange thing to realize just how comfortable we can get with subjects that most people giggle about. While my poor was having accidents I definitely heard some shocked gasps and some awkward conversations around me and all I could think was "Poor little sick puppy!!"
