"I wanna run with the wild corgis..."

I am worried. Tod's been throwing up and having projectile diarrhea since morning. We did not change anything in his diet, nor routine. The only new thing: last night we gave him one Milk-Bone Dog Biscuit for the first time. Can that be it?

He's resting now in his crate...looking very tired and weak:(

Today was the first day Tod spent most of the time off the leash inside the house. He was exploring more of the house, while I was following him being ready to correct any unwanted behavior.

Got a tablet of Sentinel. We'll give it to him after his evening meal. Now off to vacuum the house - in case he dropped of some flea larvae th… Continue

We we expecting quite a lot of crying coming from Tod's crate during the night, but he surprised us. After we turned off the lights and went upstairs, he stayed downstairs in his crate.
