Yikes! Here we go again

Hoping to hear about some "recycled" scrunchies tomorrow morning.

Well,


It is Sun AM and we have no poop! Sorry Poop Patrol!
I have re-searched & DH did the same---no scrunchie to be found so far.
There really isn't anyplace left to look as Lisi is quite restricted in the parts of the apartment where she can go (due to our cat issue). We KNOW she lost it or ate it (I have taken them out of her mouth before!).
She has had her morning breckie & went fast asleep on my lap. Her little body did a couple of jerks so hope it isn't pain. She doesn't seem to be be in distress at all.
So we will wait w/you here until there is more news. . .

Oh darn.... I was hoping the missing scrunchie had made an appearance!

Just checking in for a poop update. Hoping for some progress soon!

Go Lisi! You can DO it! Stop worrying your mommy and aunties..

OK, so we had a "morning poop" and no scrunchie. I do remember when our Bitzi went through this that it took some time before it got to a critical situation---like weeks if I remember correctly. Apparently it takes time to navigate the system and some areas are worse than others to navigate---her's got to the intestines & she started to vomit blood---that is pretty much all I remember but it was years ago. I plan to write my friend to find out how long before she realized something was up w/the little dog she lost last year. I don't have a sense that Lisi is suffering in the least. Her pooh was harder than usual but maybe that had to do w/the extra kibble so am not worried about that.
The vet did say if it is a complete blockage she will not be able to defecate & they will have to do surgery. So far so good!

This is like me watching for the chicken bone... I am so sorry and I know how stressful this is!!! I know all the good thoughts and prayers from the poop patrol will help!!

Oh, Sandi, you must be a nervous wreck. I'm sure you must be analyzing every little movement from Lisi...every sigh, every stretch, every cuddle...watching for something out of the ordinary. How scary to think of the big scrunchie getting through her little intestines. Ella also likes to explore the world with her mouth and has given me a scare a few times. Luckily she seems to chew, but not swallow if its not food.

Sending lots of prayers your way for a smooth passing of the scrunchie.

You said you were considering getting rid of the topknot. Gracie is topknotless and I love it. With Ella, I just now had it cut so hers can be worn with or without a topknot. She has "bangs" so her hair never hangs in her face anymore, but there's still plenty to pull into a topknot.

Deb, could you send me a close up of that? Is her hair curly where you cut it? My groomer insists if I cut Kitzi's it will curl but Lisi is stick straight---but then Kitzel used to be stick straight too! I may have to snip it myself first & take her in for a "repair."
