This is so embarrassing. Here's what happened.

Yesterday Boomer was in his crate by himself for 2 hours on separate occasions. One of his favorite toys is this old makeup brush of mine. It is a fan brush and he goes nuts for it! He never eats it, just nibbles.

I came home from work around 6 and he was acting normal until about 8 o'clock. He was lethargic and yippy. He wouldn't move and if you touched his tummy he would cry and whine like he was dying! We didn't figure out what happened until 11:30 at night. Somehow the makeup brush ended up in his crate. He had ripped it to shreds and devoured half of it, including the metal pieces around the top of the handle. We hopped on google to see what happens if your dog ingests metal. Didn't sound good or cheap.

We called the pet emergiclinic and they said to bring him in. So at 12 o'clock at night we drove little Boomer to the pet hospital, both nervous he was going to A) die or B) cost us a fortune we don't have! Luckily, they just made him throw up and they found bunches of brush pieces and no metal. Today he is back to normal, $100 dollars later. I think this is why Mike didn't want to get a dog. (Even though he was pretty sad last night because he loves Boomer so much.)
