It's been a while since I've posted on the blog. Going through the experience of Kody's fractured tooth was just so difficult that I'm exhausted. First experiencing the fracture itself and a week of pain until he had his first trip to the dentist.
The trips to the dentist were difficult in a whole different way especially the second trip where he was more stressed than I'd ever seen him. After the surgeries there was plenty of healing time where Kody seemed uncomfortable. After the last surgery Kody had diarrhea for three days and I feared I'd have to take him to the vet. That cleared up and just now things are getting back to normal.
Having said that, tonight Kody really wanted to go into our bedroom. I normally keep the door closed to save on heating costs. He went in to show me that he had pooped (firm poop) on the floor this morning after I had gotten out of bed but before I closed the door. I'm guessing it happened when I was in the shower. I just sighed and picked it up. After the diarrhea he stopped pooping, and then he started having big poops. I guess that his schedule is just all messed up because he literally has not done that even once since he's been potty trained. Oh yeah, there was one time with diarrhea after he ate some horse poop and he went to the same spot to do it.
What's ironic is that even through the three days of diarrhea Kody managed to let me know when he had to go and didn't have an accident inside even once. That's pretty good sometimes even for a human who's sick! So I know it must have been pretty urgent.
Of all things, firm poop is the easiest to clean up so it's no big deal.
But it emphasizes the point that it's been four weeks of emotional and physical pain for both of us. I'm tired.
