YeH it was about halfway out of his nose and I had to pull it the rest of the way out. Totally gross then he sneezed all over me. He’s exhausted now and snoring really loud. Poor guy must have been really uncomfortable all day. Was going to take him to the vet tomorrow to see what was up. I guess I saved about $300 in vet bills for the relatively low cost of being grossed out and an extra shower today.

If you taught him how to chew his food before swallowing ... you wouldn't have to pull grass out his nose.

Hope you fell better

Off topic slightly but a PSA - I’ve been giving him these chews that help with aches and stiffness in older dogs and I can’t believe how much more agile he’s been on the stairs and on our hikes and so much more playful. A very noticeable difference.

Two late dogs in my family were given those chews, and I agree, they helped wonders!

Yes, I think I need to find the human equivalent!

If you're giving the dog glucosamine and chondroitin, there is glucosamine and chondroitin for humans also.

I could use the human version!
10.10 for the week so far.
PO and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

Or if we cut the grass more often it wouldn't get to be 5 inches long...

"The active ingredients include glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. "

I've avoided anything with glucosamine as I had gestational diabetes which supposedly puts me more at risk for Type 2 later in life. There were some studies showing it could affect blood sugar then there were some studies have disputed that glucosamine affects blood sugar. Even though my blood sugar returned to normal after my pregnancy, I'm not sure I'm willing to risk it with contradictory info out there.

Eating a donut effects one blood sugar. Gary doesn't know much about glucosamine, but Gary does have above normal knowledge of diabetes. Causing a spike in one's sugar should only be a problem is you are diabetic. Granted, if you have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, one doesn't want to over burden/stress the pancreas, but I doubt glucosamine would be the straw that broke the camel's back ... especially with the average American diet of processed foods.

Disclaimer: Gary is not a physician nor does he play one on Tv.

OK this is reminding me of experiences with kids' noses so I'm changing the subject! because I'm retired and don't have to deal with kids' (or dogs or anybody's noses) anymore!

My dad is doing OK in rehab, he just seems to keep having issues with his pants disappearing. Went up there Sat. and he was in bed because - no pants again. I was like, my mom had just sent my brother up there with more pants! But later found out they were just all in the laundry, and my brother took up more pants (doubt my mom realized how long he might be there or how many changes of clothes to send). I guess it's good this is what we're dealing with. He does go for a follow up to the orthopedic Dr. since he'd dislocated his shoulder and broken his collarbone when he fell down the stairs. We don't know how many steps or how far he fell, but enough to do some damage. I think he's gonna be there awhile...

@vintagesnaps your kid comment reminded me. When youngest about a year old we caught him poking hamburger up his nose. Before we could stop him it was to far up to retrieve. A trip to the ER to retrieve the piece of hamburger revealed a couple of peas were already up there. It was bad enough with our own kids, couldn't do it someone else's.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Unfortunately this reminded me of the snot of all snots. At camp one summer this kid sneezed and he was an older kid that was kind of tall - I swear it was hanging from his nose to the floor. Longest string of snot - ever! Prize winning.

We had the same problem (not with pants, but with other clothes) disappearing when my grandparents were in a nursing home. It didn't matter what we did with labeling, they always went missing.

Okay it's almost the first of October, and I'm really done with summer, 90 plus temps and bugs. Not funny y'all

Hope your dad has a speedy recovery. The missing pants reminded me of my uncle who told his wife to bring more shorts. She brought underwear. He said no gym shorts and new ones too! He didn't want to wear any old ratty shorts for the staff

Poor puppy.
Better sneezing it out than .

That was what I was thinking. We had a Boxer who would chow down on stringy things, and then need extractions. Fortunately the occasional pull was all that was needed rather then a trip to the vet for surgery.

Sounds right for boxers. We had 2 and managed to get in the trash.

Mary Lou and Gary are in Buttonwillow on the way up to San Francisco. Buttonwillow is One of those non-descript Central Valley aggie towns who’s claim for existence is picking crops and servicing those traveling through. In particular we are having pupusas at Tita’s Pupusera. A delight which greatly exceeds the location.

Since sugar was brought up, I have to post this. This video changed my life when I came across it in 2013 (or at least my diet):



"...I hope by the end of the story I will have debunked the last 30 years of nutrition information in America..."

(clue: he does)
