The trip started out at noon on the 31st. We dosed the boys with acepromazine, a tranquilizer from the vet who said it would help with nausea which Ray has a big problem with.
saying goodbye to philly
We started out with both boys out of their carriers, but held to the seat belt with their leash. Things started off well.
By the way, they had the whole backseat to themselves.
45 minutes in, the problems began.
Ray threw up on his brother and Biggie didn't even flinch.
15 minutes later, he crapped himself.
Note the stains on the sheet. Yeah, it's gross. Poor Biggie.
Switch to plan B
Although plan B did not make Ray any better, it did contain anything that came out of his system. He soon threw up and crapped himself again.
At the next stop, we let the boys out of the car to walk around and use their litter box. Biggie peed immediately, but Ray had no interest.
This is Ray having no interest.
I soon realized why when I pulled the newspaper out of his cage. It was soaked with pee.
Plan C
At that point we upgraded him to a larger carrier so he had more room to move around.
As soon as we started off again, Ray crapped in his carrier.
Yes, that is what you think it is.
And then that was it. They would cry here and there, but no more excitement and for the last 2 hours, they didn't even make a peep.
So to sum up Day 1, 3 craps and 2 throw ups. I am taking bids on the final totals.
The next few days will be spent at my parent's house in Aurora, OH.
We will try to find interesting things to post.
Some memorable quotes from the day (all from Kristy)
"How much crap can he have in him"
"Oh no, I touched it!"
"Oh, he's getting into position."
