For anyone who doesn't know...PICA is defined as "Pica is a medical disorder characterized by an appetite for largely non-nutritive substances (e.g., coal, soil, feces, chalk, paper, etc.) or an abnormal appetite for some things that may be considered foods, such as food ingredients (e.g., flour, raw potato, starch)."
Yesterday we had friends over to scrape and reseal our chimney and power wash the roof. In addition to the constant attempted ingestion of rocks, grass, dirt, bugs, leaves, flowers (thank god she doesn't like caterpillars), now we had to watch and make sure she didn't eat chimney cement, moss off the roof, potato chip crumbs that her grandma dropped, etc... She is like a HOOVER!! We took her to the lake last weekend and all she wanted to do was pull goop out of the water and eat it.
I guess we didn't do a great job of supervising her because she vomited a little this morning and now has diarrhea again.........
So that's the latest puppy antics here....
