A Really Expensive Sock
We had to take Bob to the ER last night....for surgery...to remove a bowel obstruction...which turned out to be a sock.
A very expensive sock, indeed.
I went to the clinic to pick him up this morning. As I was filling out some papework, he leaned on me, drooling and staring into space. I don't think the anesthesia had worn off yet. Bob's in ICU right now recovering.
The medical record described the obstruction as a "sweat sock."
I haven't heard that term used in years.
Poor baby.

Oh lawd! That is too funny. I mean, how tasty is a sock. Must have had that downy smell to it and he just couldn't resist.
Poor Bob the Barker. Don't know about dogs, but humans who have abdominal operations have occasional bowel obstructions from the scar tissue that forms. Hope that isn't the case with SSB (Sweat Sock Bob).
Hope Bob is back to normal soon, and that he has an eternal disdain for all clothing and shoes after this little experience. Poor thing...
