Skip This One If You Are Squeamish

If you have a weak stomach skip this one Last chance. Squeamish around gooey smelly stuff? Second last chance. Pass on by honey, and quickly. My dog threw up today. not once. Six times. Each pile a little bigger than the one before it. It was a coral color, and smelly. Gooey. Piles of it. I got closer and saw pieces of partially eaten hot dogs. Chunks of steak. Part of a t-bone. I gagged when I had finished cleaning these six piles. Oh, yes, my husband said. I saw that on the porch. He claims he only saw one pile of throw-up. Not possible. I am no longer speaking to this man.
