It's amazing how smart dogs can be. My one dog is trained to jump into the bathtub whenever he has to throw up. It's much easier to clean up that way. Usually you just turn the water on and watch it go down the drain. My other dog just doesn't get it. I've always said she's about as smart as a box of rocks, but she has a heart of gold that makes up for it. I'm glad Malone is going to be okay and everything "came out" just fine.
