Coco on a birdseed bender

Sorry for the late post. Coco and I were up all night after her "birdseed bender."

She doesn't feel very good, poor sweet thing.

I had bought a new bird feeder to attach to the window (for Dave the Cat's amusement...it's like "Cat TV"). Unfortunately, I forgot to move the bag of bird seed (just millet) to a high place.

And Coco thought it smelled interesting enough to make an hors d'eouvre out of it while I was at work.

When I came home, it looked like she really hadn't eaten much of it. It was mostly on the kitchen floor (*grumble, grumble*). So I swept it up and forgot about it.

Around 9:00 pm, she kept going outside and just sitting there. I thought she was enjoying the change to slightly warmer weather. I even went out and sat on the steps with her for awhile.

I am such a stupid human. Do not read on if you have a delicate constitution. I am completely serious. Or if you read on, DO NOT click the link.

We came back in and *it* started. All night long, I laid on the floor with her until I was sure it was out of her system. A awoke this morning...nope. She had still been going strong.

I think she generated more in her belly. I'm sure I didn't buy THAT much birdseed.

She's still not interested in breakfast (that's just NOT like lab-like), so I did some research on the Internet this morning before calling Jim the vet.

I found this. Which made me feel oogy but slightly better that I was only dealing with birdseed.It also made me realize how important it will be to pick up our tools, nails, etc. during the work on this house.

Because it could be infinitely worse than birdseed, but it isn't. Thank goodness!
