Silly worries here last week.

On Monday the 22 th, Oslo started to cough in a way that told me he wanted to throw up. He could cough 20 times a day. But nothing came out. I did not worry at all at first. OK maybe a little bit but really not that much. Days passed, coughing did not stop and then he started to have diarrea…humm……he seemed to have a lack of energy too (kind of depressed) . That's when I started to worry and thought it could be mets…of course, when something is wrong, tripawrents' brain always end up with that whole mets concept. Then on Saturday night, he throwed up his supper. That was enough for me. It was time to ask for an appointment with our vet…which could luckily meet us on sunday morning (yep he was working on sunday) . Dr A. asked us to stop giving Oslo his meals for the next 24 hours because chances were it was only a stomach irritation caused by a smoked bone we had given to Oslo to chew on Monday the 22th. So no meals on Sunday, stomach resting and big baby wondering why we dare to starve him… but luckily no more throw up…till Monday morning when he vomitted that big black thing…one of Oslosdaddy's socks!

Oslo is doing back to a great mood and shape now so I can laugh at all this… and break Oslosdaddy's neck!!

That's the best story about coughing I've ever read on these forums!!  Oslo, you are one crazy boy!!! 

Glad to hear it was only a sock, it could have been your daddy's underwear!  We're just happy the Oslo is o.k.

Oslo, Suzanne, and barefoot Dad,

Well, did you really have to give your Mom such a scare. I know that it works for Nova, but really! She loves you very much and would give you that extra attention without much encouragement. Dad tells of a story where Cassy was carrying a stone around all day. Then you guesed it, Dad went to check on Cassy and the stone and the stone was gone. About three days later, after much heaving, the stone (now much smaller and with a definate etched appearance) reappeared. However, that was the last time Miss Cassy carried stones around in her mouth.

Actually, Dad was very pleased to hear that you are doing better. Did you frame the sock?

OMG! Oslo… a sock? Really?!! What is so tastey about a sock? All you did was freak out your mommy…  But, even a sock can cause alot of damage… so please… go back to chewing on your toys and rawhide bones… Maybe your mommy needs to buy you some new fun and tasty toys, since it sounds like you are getting bored, ha! ha! I'm so glad to hear that you are OK!!! Tell that mom of yours to post some recent pictures of videos of you!

Now as for Oslo's daddy… no more leaving your socks lying around the house!!! That's an order!!

What a scare it must have been to have Oslo chocking and acting sick, it doesn't take much to put the fear into us, but what a funny and happy ending you sock eating dog!
