annie - the gift that keeps giving

I slept horribly last night due to my back being so sore that I was dreaming about the pain. Fun. I don't think I'll be spending much time on the computer today, sitting hurts way too much.But, as I was tossing and turning and dreaming about my back hurting like hell, a new element entered the dream. The smell of poo. Or dog toots, even. Since when I woke up Jinx was lying on the bed, I just figured that it was him. He'd had a Jumbone the night before and it could have made him gassy. So I turned over, put a blanket over my nose and tried to get back to sleep. It was a little before seven in the morning, and there was no way I was getting up at that time on a Saturday!But then Jinx starts jumping on and off the bed and running around the kitchen. I could still smell it.. sigh.. did Jinx have an accident? So I half sit up and look out the bedroom - there is Annie pacing back and forth on the other side of the baby gate (we gate Jinx in at night with us so he doesn't eat all our furniture, etc). So I get up, open the gate and she tears through the kitchen to the backdoor like a bat out of hell. I hold back Jinx and open the door and Annie practically LEAPS off the balcony to get outside.Uh oh.I scamper through the kitchen (I was sort of not dressed ;)) and turn on the livingroom light and sniff... oh, crap. Litterally. Seems she had another explosive incident just like her Christmas gift to us. Poor thing. This time it was on her other bed. (ha!) which is really just a mat on the floor. The meds she's on for her allergy-respitory thing are really making her sick this time around so I am going to stop them for now. I will have to make another appointment with the vet to see what my alternatives are as she needs something when she has a bad flare up, but these pills have stopped working that effectively and started making her sick. And her fur is thinning and she's just looking old. She's not even 8 yet and that's young for this breed. I just don't like what these meds have been doing to her.I of course had to wake up Shawn again... because the washer and dryer are in our bedroom. I needed to turn on ye old washer and the lights so I could see what I was doing and I didn't want to scare him awake. Sweet guy that he is, he cleaned up the dog bed while I looked after Annie in the other room. Her tummy was all gurlgly. Poor thing. I started the washer and well, that's it really.Since then, any time I open the door Annie races out back and had to poop. I was just out there cleaning up after the dogs and she's been sick almost everywhere. I feel so bad for her and so responsible. Poor Annie.it's now noon thirty and my Annabelly is lying by my feet as I type this. Jinx is watching out the window - it's a nice sunny day. Cold, but sunny. It's about time we had some sun. I am going to take it easy, maybe have a left over slice of cheese pizza for breakfast and take care of my dogs. If my back doesn't give out I will try to do some laundry, but I have a feeling I'm not going to be doing much today. I might hook up the iBook and sit on the couch with it so I can still play online. Yes, I am obsessed. But I might get to chat with Cindy-Lou and that just makes my day, yo!Have a happy weekend everyone!
