So this is half story, half reassurance needed
Night before last, the boy and I went out to a yummy Chili's dinner. I had a an enormous plate of chipotle chicken tacos, Bryce had a plate of country fried chicken crispers. He procceeded to help me eat my food and took his home in a doggy bag. It literally became a doggy bag...
The next day we were headed over to my cousins house to do a pool/bbq but needed to stop at Safeway to grab some burgers and buns. Sage came along of course and had to stay in the car while we ran in to the store. We had accidentally forgotten the leftover food from the night before in the backseat of my car under a jacket...can you see where this is going?
Yep, we arrived back at the car to find Sage sittin fat and happy in the front seat. I open the door to find a partial chicken tender down by my pedals and a COMPLETELY empty container where there was one SEVEN large breaded and fried chicken tenders...yes...SEVEN. That means that this little 8.5lb dog devoured SIX AND A HALF tenders!! She basically looked like a little buddha, her belly was huge!
I was mad, irritated at myself, worried about her health. I knew it wasn't going to kill her but it was only a matter of time before I saw the wrath of the fried chicken comming out both ends. The whole rest of the day went great, the little buddha belly just cruised around as normal.
So this morning, I'm jolted awake by the feeling of her heaving under the covers. I jump up and run her out the door and into the backyard just in time for her to puke up pure chicken greese and seconds later squirt out chicken greese from the other end. I'm part worried, part smurking (that's what she gets for devouring enough food to feed 5 small children) and part proud of myself for moving so quickly and saving my bed/legs/carpet.
I go back in to my room, throw back the covers and find that I indeed, was not quick enough at all. There was a nice puke spot on my sheets Yuck.
As of now she has done a fair amount of vommitting and I'm sure her stomache is still churning up more chicken debris to shoot out later.
The reason for this rant is to ask if there is anything I should be worried about because of her intake of EXTREMELY fattening and greesy food. Also, will she be gaining alot of wait because of the montsrous meal? She's been on a strict diet ever since the vet said she was a pound over-weight (alot for such a little dog) I'm going to let her continue to rid herself of the mess and wait until tomarrow to give her any food. Anything I need to worry about?
