We just spent the last 2 weeks off.  For the last few weeks of the year, either Heather or Rob was home at least 1 workday during the week, and since the 15th, Heather or Rob was home all day.  We think that Mr. Buster got really REALLY used to us being around.

I don’t think Mr. Bust-ti-tude was very happy about this situation.  He seemed pretty bummed when we went to work last Tuesday.

Last Thursday, I left a pair of socks on the floor while I was on the computer.  The next thing I hear is a “SLURP!” and the ‘Bus lickin’ his chops.  The next thing I see is him licking his gums, and see only 1 sock.  This is at 10pm — so we put in a call to the Emergency Vet hotline.

Vet Recommendation:  Get Dog, Turkey Baster, and 1/3 Cup Hydrogen Peroxide.  Squirt Peroxide into dog via baster.  Wait 5 minutes for dry heaves; 20 minutes for sock upheaval.  If not, repeat.  If 2nd time doesn’t work; bring him in.

First time worked like a champ.  I no longer have a sock.

And we have a new laundry hamper, and rule for clothes lying around.

Way to ring in the new year.
