Another Update

The sickies seems to be gone.  Everyone was up for a breakfast biscuit and our 5:30 a.m. walk,  Bella is still not 100%.  She was allowed off the lead and did NOT run off in search of cats.  Our walk was shorter than usual....we'll head to the river in a little while so Roxy can burn up some energy.  She is fully recovered.

Now, SHE has a question.  Perhaps Bertie, Blogville's Scientist can answer this.

Why is it preferable to vomit on carpet rather than the easy-to-clean floor a few millimeters away?

  10. We think we prefer the carpet cause it is softer if our noses touch it. Glad everyone is better! Lee and Phod

  12. Glad to hear u girls r feeling better. Us dogs like to go on carpet so it doesnt create a slip and slide type setting fur the human. If we vomit on tile floors it makes it slippery.

  13. I'm glad everyone continues to feel better.

    As for that age old question, I'll be anxious to hear Bertie's answer! But I just asked Todd and Charlie who are the kings of doing that in our house and Charlie only said:

    "Now let me ask you, if you got sick to your tummy and you were me, wouldn't you want something warm and "cushy" under your feet than something hard and cold?"

    So, there you have Charlie's thoughts.... ;-)

  14. Glad the sickies have left. I prefer to vomit on the carpet because it makes me feel better if mom steps in it in the middle of the night.

    Aroo to you,

  15. I try to hide it in the carpet. Can't hide it on the smooth tile floor.
    Just a thought.

  19. Well now let me see. I fear that some of the earlier commenters, not being scientists perhaps, are barking up the wrong tree, We can easily explain the vomiting on the carpet not the floor behaviour in terms of evolution and survival of the fittest. Although us pups hate to admit it, we are dependent on our humans for our well being. This requires us to gain attention from said humans in times of need. What better way to draw attention to our sicknesses than to direct our vomit to the most expensive piece of soft furnishing or carpeting that comes within range? Surely you can see that to throw up on a nice easy to clean hard surface risks the episode being taken less seriously. thus reducing the chances of us obtaining appropriate medical care.
    I hope you find my explanation satisfactory.

  20. Howdy Girls, we reckon vomiting on the carpet is best cause the smell lingers for weeks, months perhaps with luck. Mmmmm the smell of vomit in the morning. You lucky dogs! No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  21. Carpet is best, no slipsliding in the sick then!
    Glad you are on the mend, hurry up Bella we need you 100% well.

  22. CARPET of course. We send more healing paw and hope you are all back to normal asap. Have a marvellous Monday.
    Best wishes Molly.

  23. So glad she is feeling better. We always vomit on the carpet, or our beds. It gives Mum a much better workout trying to scrub it out and she can practice all those words she doesn't normaly say - win-win!

  25. I'm sorry to hear that you all have been sick!

  26. Great picture! Hate it when the sickies visit...mom gave us some chews yesterday. We all, totally loved them and they kept us busy for a long time. But our little Chica ate hers so fast and then she got sick. She threw up a few times on our walk and when we got home BUT then she was fine and looking for more to eat. As we heard an old saying....she must have a hollow leg. Don't get that her legs look just fine to us. Thanks for not giving up on us and for stopping by to visit.

  28. Because carpet is like grass. Or because our dogs like to give us cleaning challenges. ;)

    Glad everyone is slowly feeling better!

  32. Wow, I'm so glad everyone is feeling better! WHEW. Well, I have no carpet in my house, so I'm stuck with the easy-to-clean floor. Hmmmm maybe that's why my peeps don't have carpet! BOL
