cinnamon challenge...

brandon and i found out a few things the other night about milo...

1. he has no gag reflex

2. he can beat the cinnamon challenge. twice.

3. he's not a bottomless pit (like we thought he was)

i was down in the basement the other night digging through my pictures when i heard milo chewing on something. i looked over to make sure it wasn't something that wasn't his chew toy. i saw a turquoise colored thing in his mouth, so i moved over to see what  it was exactly, when he dropped it. i realized it was mousey poison! i grabbed milo's mouth and started screaming for brandon (who was upstairs) to come and help me. i heard footsteps running across the floor and down the stairs. i said milo's eating poison! so i'm holding his mouth while brandon is diggin the chunks out. after getting the big chunks out, we tried brushing his mouth/teeth and then tried gagging him. (1.) he has no gag reflex. i'm pretty sure bran could've shoved his whole hand down his throat and nothing. so we ran upstairs for the cinnamon. i held the mouth open while brandon dumped a big spoonful down and then i shut his mouth. nothing. he freaked of course but didn't gag sneeze or throw up. so we got another spoonful and did it again. nothing. (2.) he beat the cinnamon challenge. twice. so then we gave him some vinager to see if that would make him gag. nothing. so we started feeding him chips, bread and meat....and lots of it. anything to possibly upset his stomach and make him throw up. he never threw up, but he was having a hard time downing his food. (3.) not a bottomless pit. he sure did eat a ton, and was super fat :-) but never threw up. he didn't even move while sleeping that night.

poor dog.
