After eating a dish towel, part of a comforter, sticks and an opossum skeleton, having diarrhea, throwing up all her food for three days, making two trips to the doctor including three x-rays, barium, two medicines and new food with a total bill of over $500, I learned that Nessie, my six-month-old Chocolate Lab, was suffering from – wait for it – – – an upset tummy.

I’m not bitter. No, really.

*sigh*
