Hey everyone - it's Astro again! Boy oh boy was I sick yesterday...I always hear stories that dad tells mom about the dogs he's had to operate on (for anyone who's missed it - my dad is a Veterinarian). They usually seem to be Golden Retrievers, and there's always something someone has eaten that just isn't coming out on its own. I remember he told me one time that one Goldie ate ROCKS....THREE TIMES! Ew. I don't necessarily find rocks appealing, but kitty tootsies - wow that's a different story. I just can't understand why you humans aren't just as crazy for those tasty little morsels as we dogs are...
But I digress...mom and dad were doing their weekly cleaning frenzy, and mom left the gate to the litterbox area open. I decided to sneak in there and steal some tootsies before she caught me, and dad DID catch me, but not before I got to do some serious munching. Big Mistake! I got sick from the kitty tootsies, and apparently a staple or two was hanging around in there too! I don't believe it was the tootsies that made me sick, despite what dad said - they're too yummy to be bad for you. Must have been the staples...
Anyway - I'm feeling a lot better now. Haven't eaten in 2 days and I sure am hungry - I wolfed down breakfast this morning and mom seemed really happy. I'm just glad I'm better before Thursday, because that's when my new little brother comes home and I can't wait to play with him!
