Yum

So Monday night my dog managed to take a tupperware container of used vegetable oil off the counter by the sink, carry it to his floor mat, and drink the entire thing while we were at the gym. The amazing part isn't that he never threw up  (let alone didn't kill him) but rather that he managed all of that without spilling a drop.

This cements my belief that my dog really does known what I'm talking about when I am talking to him. He obviously understands that eatting the food is a far lesser offense than making a mess while stealing it and therefore made an effort not to spill it...

Adding to my bewilderment is that after reading online that it wouldn't kill him, and that I could give him peptobismol so he wouldn't puke all over my bed at night, I presented him with a bowl of peptobismol which he refused to even try...

Two cups of day old used veggie oil = yum.

Two teaspoons of peptobismol = nope.

After mixing it with some rice and crushed dog cookies and muttering to him about the hypocracy of drinking a tub of oil but refusing a small bowl of pepto, he finally ate it.

Aside from a mild cough the morning after he's a-ok. And his coat is as shiney as it has ever been.
