Skunked!!

So today I am at work, and I get a call from my husband saying that he is having an emergency and can't attend to it because he will be late for work. While getting ready he let the dog out, and she picked a fight with the skunk and lost! So I had to leave work early, use vacation time, go to the store and buy all the crap you need to de-skunk a dog, and at 5 months pregnant, there I am squatting on the ground in 95 degree humid heat (i'm in Cincinnati)... I think I earned a gold medal for this fiasco. My husband definitely owes me big big time!

Has anyone else had to do with anything horrible like this since you gotten pregnant?

The closest I can come to that was finding rotten potatoes in our pantry. I could gag right now just thinking about the smell and the texture... Gross!

One morning, I heard our dog whining at 6 am - I went out to find his huge crate covered in vomit in various stages of digestion. The crate was so big I couldn't get it through the doorway without collapsing it, thus making me spill the diarrhea vomit all the way down the path from our living room to our backyard. I can't even begin to truly describe how awful it was. I was panicking and called my husband at work while he was walking me through what to do as his coworkers were gagging in the background. Somehow, I was able to clean it all up, clean the dog and then shower by 7:30 without waking my daughter (who had been in bed with me) and the Lord knew I needed some rest because DD slept in with me until 9:30 that day! And, no more vomit after that!

Not nearly as bad off as you ladies but my cat is a binger and purger and always has been. I go through the house and hunt down his puke every day. Sometimes it is the exact same as it went in just wet, other times it is almost totally digested. SOMETIMES he or my other cat gets to it first and chows down (which I love tbh, less mess). The only situation comparable to you ladies though is the one morning when I woke up to my screaming one year old and walked into his room to find him and everything in his crib covered in crap. We went straight to the bathroom where he was immediately put in the bathroom for an impromptu bath. Thank God I had finished laundry the night before so everything went straight into the washer after being shaken out outside!

When I was late in my third trimester with DS my dog jumped up on the counter and ate 3 dozen gluten free chocolate chip cookies, which were made with pure dark chocolate and raw cocoa power (the most poisonous for dogs). It was a Sunday night so I couldn't take him to the vet and the closest emergency vet was 1.5 hours away (we lived very isolated in the mountains at the time). I called the emergency line and they told me to start giving him tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide every 15-20 minutes to induce vomiting. It was 23 degrees outside and I ended up sitting out there for hours with my dog, forcing the hydrogen peroxide down his throat while he gagged and vomited all over the place and I shivered and froze. I then ended up sitting up with him all night long because I was so worried. *sigh* pets ... I guess they are good practice for kids lol

Thus just makes me glad we're waiting until after all our pregnancies are over to get a dog...
