Buddy's Okay, Bruno Vomits

I stop off in Thornbury at the pet shop with Buddy, after I have taken him to the eye specialist to get the all okay, to buy some things.

I get a new bed for Bruno now that he is big enough not to sleep in his play pen every night.

I set the new bed down in the lounge room and Bruno crawls in and is asleep in it almost immediately. Then Buddy climbs into the bed with Bruno. They sleep like that for most of the afternoon.

Just as I am gazing at the two of them thinking how cute they look together, Bruno suddenly wakes up and starts heaving. 

"Ooba, ooba, oooba, ba, ba, ba..." I pick him up and unceremoniously dump him down on the concert outside. "Blur...aaaaaaaah! Blur... ah! Blur...ah!"

He’d eaten the Fiddle Leaf fig I’d bought back inside, Sam tells me when I tell him Bruno had been sick. It turns out Fiddle Leaf Figs are toxic and can make your puppy sick. Not deadly, thankfully, but can make them sick, as it did to Bruno.

We now have to get the Fiddle Leaf Fig off the floor and out of the chewing machines reach. After thinking a few options through, we get a large empty pot from the garden and sit it down upside down and put the Fiddle Leaf Fig on top of it. Problem solved. The little guy can't reach the leaves now.
