I definitely had today's adventure. I am in bed with the dog asleep on the floor. All of a sudden he starts "reverse sneezing" which I've fortunately seen him do before. (They sound like they are gagging and can't breathe; it's harmless but sounds awful). So I ran to get him outside. We have a fenced in dog yard that is reached by going down 3 steps. The dog tore his ACL about 4 months ago and is still healing up. He can go down the stairs but not up them. So I got him out and he peed and then came and told me he was ready. Which is the part where Rainbow was a littlle stupid. To get back in he goes out the gate and then around the house to a ramp he can walk up easily. He was off-leash for this and I knew he'd go right in. But I didn't think about putting on shoes or turning on the outside light. So I was out there in my bare feet, praying to not step on anything gross or into a huge glob of mud since we've had nearly 1.5 inches of rain here in the last 2 days. I have no idea how I navigated the sidewalk; I don't know it that well. But my bare feet held up and we are back inside and not reverse sneezing. I wish he'd come in the room with me but I think he's sleeping in the living room for now.

At least he didn't throw up like i thought he was. Crap, there he goes again........
