Buddy, a 14 month old lab owned jointly by BH and me, had a rough night. BH takes an herbal supplement called melatonin to help him sleep. BH placed a single melatonin tablet on the coffee table as he went to the kitchen to get some water to take the pill with. Before he could return, Buddy managed to swallow the pill in one gulp. I panicked, thinking he would surely go to sleep and not wake up. After BH reasoned with me and convinced me that we hadn't just killed our dog, we took the dogs along for a ride to McDonald's to get an ice cream cone.
After we purchased our late night snack and in route to BH's house, we were rear-ended by a car at a red light. Buddy, bless his heart, bounced off the back of my seat and landed in a crumpled mess in the back seat, only to hop back up and stick his head out the window to check out the cause of the commotion. I asked BH to role up the windows to prevent the dogs from escaping. In this process, we managed to role poor Buddy's head up in the window. After much thrashing around and flailing, we managed to free him from the window and secure him safely in the back seat while BH dealt with the aforementioned rear-ender.
After taking a melatonin, surviving a car accident, and then having his head rolled up in a window, he slept rather soundly last night. Bless his little heart. If he made it through yesterday, he might be with us for the long haul.

Poor Buddy! He looks so sad in the pic--is that before or after the melatonin? He still looks like such a baby!
Poor buddy. You know he is my favorite:) love you
First of all, poor you! Sounds like Buddy was just fine, but you were tortured!
Second, ew. There are some random folks parading through the blog world these days. Let's keep the comments to Amanda's blog clean!
I guess I'm heartless. I thought that was so funny! I mean, sad, but in a funny way. You know me, though. Coconut.
