the doggy trial run

so the il's went to hawaii last thursday to do some family related stuff (no not a vacation but they are getting in some fun things while they're there) so i've obviously had buster since then...lo and behold the dog apparently swallowed a chunk of his rawhide bone the night before he left, i did not find this out from them until friday or saturday!!! buster vomited on the floor mutliple times, on the couch and leather chair once, AND pooped on the floor like 5 or 6 times!!!
can we all say that i am so NOT happy about these things?!!!
on sat morn i cut a HUGE matted clump of poo out of his bum hair (yes, i was gagging...funny how when you get paid for something like that you don't gag, but when you're not you do LOL) but his bum hairs were just NASTY and i pretty much refused to give him a bath and deal w/ it, so yesterday (monday) i took him to a groomers and had a sanitary patch done, his nails clipped, and they also cut out some other poopy mats (smaller than the one i did on saturday) it cost me $20 but it was so totally worth it to not have to look at that and have it drop icky things on the carpet for 5 more days until my il's come home and take care of it...
even better though is that since he got cleaned up he's finally started acting normal (the rawhide really caused problems and he was depressed that they were gone) so now he's pretty happy again and seems to finally have stopped pooing on the floor, i've not had to clean any of that up since yesterday morning...although, in hindsight, i should've spent the extra 12- 14 $ and had a regular groom job done on him because he's still kinda stinky
