I got up this morning and like always the first thing I do is let my dog outside for his morning potty. He’s quick about it, so I wait at the door for him. While I’m waiting I realize that I don’t feel so well. So about then my dog comes back to the door and I let him in. Being the pushy little thing that he is, he has to come in ahead of me. So I’m behind him as we come back through the kitchen and I realize I don’t feel well at all! I bolt for the bathroom! He thinks that’s really neat, and bolts ahead of me! I’m trying not to lose it while stumbling around a crazed dog at 5 a.m. Well, I did lose it. All over his back. I’d had a glass of milk earlier… my dog is black. Sorry, I just had to share this. ---

I threw up into my babies’ crib once. It wasn’t a comment on motherhood (and they weren’t in it at the time); just a really bad case of food poisoning that came on too quick. Had to clean it up myself, too, 'cause Hubby was dealing w/the kids! ---

“Man bites dog . . . film at eleven.” 😃 One day when my sister and I were kids, we were playing Twenty Questions. I was thinking of our poodle, and she guessed, “Can you blow your nose on it?” (thinking of the Kleenex box on the end table). I wasn’t sure what to answer! (We also used to open up both ends of a potato chip bag, put it on the dog, and watch her go _crinkle crinkle_ trying to get out of it. Hee hee!) ---

I only imperfectly remember the joke, but the punchline goes something like this: A drunk threw up on a dog, looked at the dog afterwards and said, “Hey! I don’t remember eating that!” ---

Oh man, I started laughing as soon as I spotted the title! Great story. Oh, and sorry you’re not feeling well. One question- what was the dog’s reaction to being hosed down with milky yark? ---

Now that’s funny! Sorry you don’t feel well, though. My dogs all try to eat their yak…I’m not sure if I want to know if he tried to eat yours! 😃 ---

On several occasions, I have awoke to various cats trying to barf on me in the night. Frighteningly, it is usually near my head/torso region. I suppose they are trying to say: “Hey, mommy, I’m sick. And you aren’t noticing because, selfishly, you are sleeping the entire night away.” Few have succeeded, but I have wondered about returning the favor. 😉 ---

My dog would have been all “Wow! Hot soup! It’s raining food!” But then I wouldn’t have to clean it up. ---

I threw up next to my dog’s head once. I had a case of food poisoning, and had been sick all day. I had managed to eat some chicken soup, but it only stayed down for about 30 minutes. It snuck up on me - I thought I had time to run to the bathroom, but I only got a few steps away from the couch before I hurled. The dog didn’t flinch - she had been watching me throw up since about 4 that morning, so she was used to it by then. ---

I peed on my cat. And when my dog hears me throwing up, he comes running. I have to shew him away while I’m trying to aim the spew. ---

You know the feeling, the sounds. It’s late at night, and, groggily, you awaken to the sounds of the cat barking on the floor. Hastily, you swing your bare feet to the floor, to try and stop it, and, well, you know the rest of the story. ---

I feel much better today, thank you everyone. When the load hit his back, he did that sort of dog lowering of the shoulders thing, looking right and left, and then was happily on his way again. And yes, the dog did infact “clean-up after me” and I was too darn sick to stop him, and that just made me all the sicker! Dogs… Gross and entirely loveable, huh? ---

Man, think about the trip this milk has taken… it came out of a cow into an automatic milker and through the pasturization process to the bottler and then to the store where you/Mom gave it to the checker who gave it to the bagger from which it was taken to your car and driven home to be put in a refrigerator and then went through the spoiling process and later poured into a glass and then down your throat and into your stomach which said get the hell out and it shot back up your throat and out your mouth through the air and onto a dog’s back to be lapped up by his tongue and swallowed and through his tummy and finally shit onto the yard. Poor widdle milk. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-threw-up-on-my-dog/262295.md?page=2)
