Poor Boone got really really sick last week. It was so sad. He is kind of like our kid, we are very attached to him. It was about 7:00 at night, Cody was still at work and I was cooking dinner, I realized Boone wasn't in the kitchen with me, that usually means he is up to no good. So I went around the house and tried to find him. The poor puppy was just laying on the floor:( I instantly knew something was wrong with him. He was acting like he was in so much pain, and was trying to throw up. He didn't want me to pick him up. I called the vet and asked what to do. They told me to bring him in. So I rushed him to the animal emergency room. The vet asked me if he had eaten anything other than his dog food recently. So I started naming her everything he had gotten into just this week; lets see on Monday he chewed up a plastic sword and ate it, then Tuesday morning he somehow got onto the kitchen table and destroyed 6 roses Cody had gotten me, Wednesday he ate a rock, and also got into about 200 hair pins, not sure if he had eaten one. The doctor was like wow, he is quite the dog. She was pretty sure if the rock, or bobby pins were still in his stomach we would need to operate. She estimated the this was going to cost $ 2,000+. I started to cry, because I didn't want to have to pay that kind of money for my dog. He had a fever of 103.5 and was extremely dehydrated. Luckily the x-ray showed no bobby pins or rock. After they put some fluid back in him through a shot we were able to take him home and just watch him and bring him back in the morning.
When we got him home that night he threw up and there was a rock!! He ended up getting better and he is now back to himself:)


He had to wear the collar of shame, so he wouldn't rip out his IV


Cody, his brother and dad got to go to the Broncos game, Front Row!!!
