flaming red rocket....not appropiate for the weak of heart


oliver, our dirty martini...
here is a happy little story to brighten your hump day.

last nite i worked out, played vball and came home around 7:50pm. little ollie
was out in the yard by himself and didn't run to greet me, so i start to head to
the house and realize...he still is laying in the yard. so i go over to talk to him
he stands and then lays down again. i realize something is wrong - so i go in
the house and ask bryce what is wrong with him and this is what bryce " the
mature one" says

"he has a flaming red rocket", very nice shakespeare, thanks for the editing.

so i go outside and he wasn't lying - poor ollie has the perpertual hard on!

so i finally pick him up to carry him into the house and go upstairs to call a vet.
god forbid the city of pets have an afterhours e.r. vet. oh no i have to call
lafayette. so i go to the studio to make the call and the kids ask what is wrong
and i say "he has an erection that wont go down. sir is in hysterics but then
little c says "bryce or ollie" she is half listening, god forbid she stops watching
tv. i said to her "why on earth would i tell you bryce has an erection. sir g at
this point is wetting himself.

so i call the vet, they tell me that i have to keep it moist with water or k.y. and try
to manually manipulate it to go back in. ARE YOU EFF-IN' KIDDING ME"!!!! what
the hell. so i go back down stairs toting my hair dye glove, get a bowl of water
to splash on the said "rocket" and my husband is giggling on the couch like a little
boy, because he IS ONE~!

nothing works, i make bryce go to walgreens for the k.y jelly - which cost $12!!!

i try that and realize that he has something bulbous protuding and it looks enflamed
and just bad.

so i call them again, i call a local vet to see if they have an after hours service
the vet tells me to put ice on it and doesn't offer to see him

so i finally tell bryce we have to take him to lafayette.

they have to put him under to get it in. the flaming bulbous issue was
the gland! so $200 later and back home at 11:30 - that was my nite
how was yours!

***upate*** [little ollie is fine, rocket again functioning in a normal fashion, i am sleep
deprived, but what the hell else is new.]

I had a very similar situation when I was trying to breed 2 miniature dachsunds... I was daft enough to think they could figure out how to put tab "a" into slot "b" on their own. I will never do that again!

Oh, how you make me laugh, Kelly! Not at Ollie's expense, poor guy; I'm glad he's feeling better. You tell a good story, though! (That and there's a middle schooler in me that just comes out sometimes; call me Beavis. :)

Not only are you f ing hysterical but the picture of him just makes the story all that more adorable/hysterical. You are a wonderful woman/pet woner.

I just laughed so hard I almost peed and then I called all my friends and told them to read this story (because you tell it way better than I could repeat it!)

Poor Ollie, but damn that is funny. Glad my pup is girl, I guess!

poor ollie! poor kelly! (my fave part of story is when little c asks if you're talking about bryce. ha!

This post has me in stitches! I'm sorry to be laughing at the expense of your dear pet. I hope he's feeling much better.

Just like a Viagra commercial for pets.

oh dear! i had to laugh, but i am sure in the moment(or it was hours really wasn't it?) that it was a terrible mess. what a great story teller you are however and the photo is so "telling".
hope everyone has calmed down - especially OLLIE!

Damn, that's funny! We once had a cat that was in heat and didn't know it. A midnight vet visit, one bottle of kitty valume and $225 later, we found out she was just in heat :))
