Upset tummies, hard days

Sometimes, being a puppy is hard. I had two hard days this week, and I did not like them. At all.

Because I am a growing boy, I am hungry a lot. I like it when breakfast and dinner time come. My mommy is a good cooker! But the last two days, I could not keep her yummy meals inside my tummy.

I did not feel good on Friday and Saturday. Both nights, what was in my tummy suddenly was out, all over Mommy's carpet. She tried to tell me it was okay, that I would not get in trouble for being sick. But I felt bad while Mommy and I watched Daddy clean up my big mess.

It was hard for Mommy and Daddy to tell that I felt droopy, because I would be quiet and then all of a sudden be my usual crazy-daisy self. My parents love me and watch me closely. But they do not speak puppy, so I could not tell them that I did not feel good. They got the idea when I urped on the carpet. I could not tell them that my tummy was still upset. But then, maybe running wild around the yard, jumping on top of Mommy while she slept, and rumbling with Daddy did not make that clear.

I woke Mommy up at 3 in the morning. I was out of sorts. So was Mommy. I pottied, then we went back to bed. Then I got up again at 5. Mommy and I went out so I could make poopies. I tried, but it was really hard. Mommy suddenly realized why my tummy was so upset. Something that she says puppies are not supposed to eat (I'm not tellin'...) started to come out, but it got stuck. Mommy had to grab and pull, hard. It was long and it hurt.

Ewwwwwww, my Mommy said.

I am not my Mommy's first labrador. She has had to do a lot of icky things. It is part of the labrador mommy job. She says this one was the ickiest of them all so far. Does this mean I am the best labrador she has ever had? She says it is too early to tell.

I feel better. I am glad my Mommy helped me out.
