I've enjoyed a day off around the apartment, up until the moment Jorgie got sick. She's the black one looking sad. It's not that often she looks sad considering she has one of the most natural dog smiles I've ever seen. It's really almost scary! She acted kinda funny all morning long and I noticed she seemed really cold, so being the good master that I am, I babied her for awhile. For those who don't know, Jorgie is a stray dog Kim brought home from work one day when she was just a puppy.... the dog, not Kim, SILLY! We had only had her for a few weeks when she came down with an awful illness. I called Brent, our vet, and he met us up at his clinic at 11 pm on a Friday(he didn't even charge for a late call). We came home with a diagnosis of Parvo and a week's worth of shots and food in a tube for me to rub on her gums so she would get nutrition since she wasn't eating. Well, she had to have around the clock care so she went to work with me, staying in a cage in my office all day. During this time, she became REALLY attached to me and has rarely let me out of her sight since.
So, today, like then, I babied her. I held her in my lap, carried her around, and let her fall asleep on my chest while I drifted away in a peaceful nap..... a nap that came to a screeching halt when I heard, "uckg.... uckg.... uckg...... buuuh." All over our couch, my shirt, neck, and.... you guessed it.... my MOUTH!! Oh my goodness, I wanted to throw-up myself. I quickly forgot how much of a "loving master" I am and threw her on the floor, jumped up, told myself to not swallow and ran to the bathroom.
I think she thought she was in trouble because she curled up in a ball and has given me this look all afternoon. Poor Jorgie, she always seems to be getting sick from something. I know what it is, but I won't write about it for the sake of those who may be eating while reading this blog.
I guess now I know where the term, "Sick as a dog" came from.
Oh the dog days of winter...

gaaroooossss (Gross very emphatic) All I can say is if you live through that and still tolerate the presence of that dog you are going to make an incredible dad!!!!
I don't think I ever laughed so hard in my life. I don't know what it is about dog's and kid's getting sick and throwing up infront of us or on us.
Just remember, you can't throw your child on the floor when it throws up on you!!
Well my husband and I are thinking surely this is a joke, but from the other comments I suppose it is not! I think I must agree with Mandy cause I would rather it be my child than a dog.
Dogs are not human... just wanted to make that clear.
And to all you crazy mothers...
I would toss anything that vomits on me.
At school my students know that if they vomit in my classroom they will fail the year. It is a stated rule every year the first day of class. I make it very clear that it is no joke, and I have never had one do it yet.
TOO MUCH INFORMATION!! I can't even imagine any of it! LOL!
Joseph, I am glad my kids were not in your class! If a child gets sick and does vomit it's because they couldn't help it! Brother! You just need to be a dad sometime, and one of your kids throw up on you and see if you make them fail LIFE! Come on...give those kids a break! :)
ROFL!!!! If this is not true you have a weird imagination!!!! I have dealt with both dog and child and both are gross!!! But I must agree Lynn if you didn't vomit and kept your cool you will be a great dad. But don't throw the kid on the floor!!!! Its odd but it is easier if it is your own kid and not someone else. Joseph all I can say is your day is coming!!!
Why would anyone think this isn't true. I must say that every word is true, except the whole Farley approval... see, he's not real, just an imaginary person, but the VOMIT, that was as real as can be, brownish yellow.... warm, slimey... yep! I'd say it was real!!
Uggghh!!! We just ate supper, and I'm trying not to think about it! I will agree, you might do that to a dog, but you cannot throw your own child on the floor when they get sick all over you!!!
