Upset tummy

I hope you all enjoyed my camping photos. Camping was so much fun, but what followed was not. Five days after we got back from the lake, my tummy started rumbling. Mommy and Daddy went to work, as usual, and I did all I could to wait until they came home. As soon as I was let out of my room, I ran to my potty area and erupted. Not good at all! I thought maybe that was going to be it, but I was wrong. Mommy didn't think to take me to Dr. Dave until I turned my breakfast down. I don't miss any meals...ever...so she knew I wasn't feeling well. I heard her tell Daddy that it looked like a peanut butter war in my potty area. They knew it was a little more than an upset tummy. I endured 12 horrible hours of volcano bottom until Dr. Dave figured out what was wrong with me!

The diagnosis? Well, turns out I caught the Beaver Fever! Or, Giardia in doctor's terms. Apparently, puppies like me get it from drinking dirty lake water. Who can blame me? I was thirsty!! Now, it's no secret that I love food, so when I heard Dr. Dave say I needed to eat chicken and rice instead of my puppy chow, I thanked the Beaver Fever gods....and I did a little 'Oh yeah, I get chicken and rice' dance.

Those were the best 4 days of my life! Not only did my tummy feel MUCH better, but every meal was a total indulgence. I had a hard time re-adjusting to the puppy kibble, but at least my tummy wasn't hurting anymore. If I could only convince Mommy and Daddy to take me back to that swim spot, maybe I'll get more chicken and rice!
