    Not the best start to the morning, woke up to absolute carnage where the dogs sleep. Every type of fluid a mutt can eject from either end and a good dollop of the claret added in for good measure. 2 exceedingly poorly pooches are off to the vets. If they were humans you would’ve said they’d been out on the lash and paying for it now. I’m not sure if they’ve eaten something or a snake bite. For all the flippancy of the above, I’m really worried. Thank goodness OH is off today and was able to help with the clean up and take the girls in. The older 2 are absolutely fine and scoffed breakfast without any hesitation.
    I’ll try and concentrate on work

    Quick update, both on drips and OH to call back in at 12. One still losing blood so keeping everything crossed. OH has taken himself off for a brew and brekky. No point in him coming back yet

    They’re home. Vets in the area and will be calling in this afternoon to check on them. It’s doggy enteritis, both still sick 🤢. Currently on 4 load of dog beds and still more to go. Puppy is looking worse than the other one now. 2 older girls are still ok.
