So Far So Good

[Andrea, Belle and Honey]

Belle seems to be fine - her usual lively, hungry self.  Hopefully the next two days will be as symptom free. This morning Belle and I went straight to Bed, Bath and Beyond and used one of my many coupons to purchase a small trash can with a secure lid for the bathroom.  What puzzles me is that right next to the open trash can yesterday was an enclosed receptacle for dirty diapers that I bought last winter when I got tired of falling on ice taking animal poop to the garbage (my terrier uses piddle pads and I scoop kitty litter for two every day).  What was my diaper-disposing friend thinking of?  I will definitely be more direct with any future guests about disposal of anything a dog might consider edible, including paper guest towels.  Belle loves to eat paper of any sort, and she has gotten so much taller that when she stretches on her hind legs she can reach much higher than expected. Last week she climbed on a chair and snatched my phone bill from the kitchen table.  The chairs are all tucked neatly under the table now.

I was amazed at, but too anxious at the time to question, the vet's instructions to call Home Again for medical advice. After reading some of your comments, I left a message for the vet to call me so I can find out why it was necessary for me to do that. I like this vet because, unlike our previous vets, she has been really good about referring us to specialty vets promptly enough for their expertise to be helpful.  I hope there was a good reason for her telling the vet tech to have me to call the microchip company.

Glad to hear Belle is doing fine. And maybe the receptionist mid communicated or gave advice on her own wo consulting the actual vet? I would wait and ask the vet myself before making any further decision since you like her and haven't had any problems before.
