Shit Storm 2010

Today was interesting.

On the up-side, Ruby was extremely happy to see both Jackie and I when we got home. She was so worked up I had a very difficult time putting her leash on her and Zoey for their walks. Leashing Ruby was nothing compared to trying to leash a dog a quarter the size of Ruby and having Ruby shoving her body at your face to play.

We went to the vet today, Ruby weighed in at 35lbs, she gained about 5lbs in 13 days! Wehn we got home, we cleaned up in the shower. Upon exiting the shower a foul smell of shit circulated around the apartment, we looked all around Zoey's crate, as she did not come to the vet and was in her crate for the past hour and a half. Our search ended by the front door.
All the extra weight was forced out of her body and into Jackie's shoe in the form of a massive Lab poop.

Down Side to today:
Ruby and Zoey both shit while we were showering. Ruby shit in Jackie's shoes. How is that even possible?

On a morbid up-side to this, Ruby got the message that we were upset with her. I don't think she understood what she did or why we were upset with her, but it was clear she was scared. On the walk immediately following our discovery, Ruby glued to me as we walked, I tried to keep her away from me to drive the point home. Jackie was waiting at the door for us as we turned to the back of our building, Ruby sank down and laid on the ground, we couldn't get her to move forward and get into the apartment. She was stuck to the ground, afraid to get up. I feel bad for shunning her as we did, however taking a dump in the apartment is unacceptable. Hopefully she learns her lesson.
