What Have You Eaten?

A small ginger someone didn’t eat her breakfast this morning, I was told.  Pepper has been going around all day with a very rumbly and noisy tumbly whilst occasionally dashing outside for obvious reasons.

My poor little girl.  When she is ill, it makes me anxious and I worry for her.  She wouldn’t go on the dogwalk either.

This afternoon, I took Pepper into my shed and she eventually went to sleep. I could hear her little tumbly settling – the industrial process noises growing less.

I have absolutely no idea what has set this off.  Pepper honestly hasn’t been out of my sight (with the caveat “that I know of”) and I thought her latest diet of no chicken, beef, or lamb was the answer. Pepper had been doing so well for the longest time.  But something got her. Now I think about it, I wonder if rabbit is considered a novel protein (a “novel protein” simply means an animal meat your pet has rarely or never eaten before) so I suppose rabbit isn’t because Pepper regularly catches them though I usually get them off her before she can eat it.

But good news, after her long sleep, Pepper had a little supper and has kept it down, so far.  I am hoping she is now feeling a little better.   There has been tail-wagging when I asked her so that’s obviously a good sign.

Oh Pepper *** sigh ***.  Off we go again.  I hope this is not the start of something, please.

    All I can say is that there is some divine spirit which either designed their systems to be able to withstand all ingested crud or that some benevolent spirit know they will eat anything that will fit in their mouths & that they will help the little gluttons get over their wild ways. However, you are so right: it is petrifying every single last time to watch this post unidentifiable snack go through their systems.
