Clover’s gastrointestinal fortitude

The other day, I had lunch at Lime Leaf. I enjoyed the pad Thai with chicken. Meanwhile at home, Clover had the Ramen noodles and the entire contents of a birthday party treat bag, left behind by the girl. Someone had left the pantry door open.

Later, regretting his lunch decisions, Clover upchucked on the rug, displaying a tightly woven display of candy wrappers. I spied Laffy Taffy and Milk Duds in the wreckage.

Yesterday, Clover decided to raid my purse. In a fit of self-improvement, he devoured a package of Orbit teeth-whitening gum. Ah, yes, just look at the bright white teeth of my canine. Later, I noted the landmines deposited in the back yard glinted in the sun with shiny bits of gum wrapper foil.

Oddly, food, actual food we wouldn’t mind him scarfing down, such as the random cracker that drops from the table or the pretzel I clumsily dropped onto the kitchen floor holds no interest.

He visited the vet today for a checkup and some shots; he’s gained a few pounds. Gotta remember to close the pantry doors.
