Windy Day Schnitzel!

We tried to find the same tree. Unfortunately, I didn’t study the pose well enough.

Mr. Schnitzel went off his feed yesterday for the first time ever. He's had the occasional stomach upset -- and other, grosser dog problems -- but ever since we figured out what to feed him at about 2 months he has not been a picky eater. He is, as dogs tend to be, always hungry and just as happy to eat paper, leaves and carpet as his regular food.

But starting on Sunday and continuing yesterday he wouldn't eat anything and just slept all day. He vomitted up his water and we had to go outside every couple hours. I was really worried! Can you tell this is my first dog as an adult?

Finally, this morning he ate a little pumpkin and rice and held it down. He's sleeping in the "sun" right now, but it is his normal sleep. He growled at a bird about 15 minutes ago so I know he's doing better. Yesterday he slept right through a roofer working (on another house) about 20 feet from his head. This is a dog that barks if someone walks past the window inside the old folks home 2/3 of the way down the block.

Anyways, he seems to be on the road to recovery. His beard is orange from the pumpkin. It looks like health.

Here's a picture from two weeks ago at reveritas's place. He's had a haircut since then.
