Why do dogs throw up on….

Carpets, rugs, blankets, BEDS (anywhere but the floor) !!!

This morning, Saturday, is my sleep-in day. 7.30 the alarm goes off, but I know I can snooze for another 15ish minutes before I really get up. It’s dull outside, it’s cold (just going into Winter here), I think it’s raining……Bingo suddenly sits up and does that heaving thing, you know, when they’re about to throw up. Bingo only very rarely throws up, if he does, it’s on my lazy day, so he hasn’t been fed, and his stomach is obviously doing stuff – he tells me it has absolutely nothing to do with the cat poo I caught him eating last night before bed.

Anyhow, of course, to make things easier for me and so as not to dirty himself, he sits up and gets his paws out of the way so he doesn’t get them dirty, and then proceeds to do the heave thing which means he’s about to throw up. I dive out of bed, scrape my foot against a chest of drawers which (my fault Bingo says), I’ve left slightly ajar and grab him and put him on the floor, and yes, he throws up a bit of liquid. He’s then choking as he’s obviously got some in his nose but I run him outside (into the cold, he says) and put him down. He sneezes a few times and is fine and goes back inside, to leave me looking at my poor bloody foot. Two huge bleeding scrapes on the top of my foot. I’m now starting to feel the pain of my scraped foot.

I hobble inside and Bingo is inside waiting for his breakfast and says I can clean my foot up after :)
