bad day birthday and lots of love from DWBs

Today was Keeley's birthday and he had a really bad day. He was supposed to go to doggie daycare but I decided to keep him home to rest his leg. He was bummed about that since he loves daycare.

Then when I got home, I discovered that Keeley had gotten diarrhea during the day and there was gross poop all over his pantry. I could tell that he was so ashamed of himself because he was curled up in a corner trying to stay as far away from it as possible. I told him that it was okay and that he couldn't help it that his tummy was upset. But he still didn't want to make eye contact with me and just followed me around with his tail between his legs while I cleaned everything up.

Just when I was almost done with that then he threw up a few times in the stairway. I told him it was okay and tried to clean that up too but must have done an unsatisfactory job of it because Keeley's grandma had to clean it again when she got home.

Then to top it all off, I told him that he couldn't have dinner since his tummy obviously needs a rest. So now he's doing his starving dog routine. Poor baby Keeley. He's had such a horrible day.

On a much more pawsitive note, Keeley has received lots of wonderful birthday wishes from his DWB pals. Here are a few that he got via e-mail:

Keeley also got a sweet email from Lenny but I couldn't figure out how to get it to display right here so I'm just posting the part with the cute picture of Lenny:Keeley says thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes!

Oh yeah, we sent out some homemade doggie treats to many of Keeley's DWB pals that we knew the addresses of. We wish we could have sent some to everydog but priority mail is expensive and we didn't think that the treats would make it to our overseas pals. We hope the dogs that got them like them and we're very sorry if we missed you.

Oh Keeley,

I'm so sad that your tummy is upset. If your Mom allows it, some rice always settles my tum. It also helps to firm my poop up. I tend to get the 'loose poops' every so often, so Mom has found that rice works every time. I sure hope you feel better real soon. This is no way to spend your 2nd birthday. I'm sending more AireZen your way, this time for your tummy!
Mom mailed off your barkday present today, so you should get it in a few days. I hope that helps to brighten up your day!
Feel better my good buddy!

Your pal,
Kirby

Oh no Keeley, you poor thing. That's not much of a birthday pressie for you is it. We hope your upset tummy clears up quickly.
We understand you can't send parcels to everyone. Nothing gets through our quarantine here in Oz. Bogie's treats were confiscated and we got a nasty letter....noice ay!!!

Anyway, hope you're feeling better matie.

Hugs and tail wags

Sorry you're not feeling well Keeley...Did you maybe eat too many of those tasty treats? They are so good! Thank you again for sending them! And thank you for sending vegetarian goodies because I'm not really supposed to eat meat. :)

P.S. My dad even ate one and he said they were good.
