Let me preface this with no animals were harmed during this eruption. Humans were amazed and revolted all in the same breath. HAZMAT was put on stand by to respond to the scene of the esplosion.
There was a gas explosion at the Shiner refinery plant this morning. A staff member who was closest to the area at the time of the eruption was able to get things under control. However, there was another unexplainable explosion from the rear of the refinery that occurred about 10-15 minutes after the original incident. Staff worked hard through the next 30 minutes to get the stench and the off gassing pipes under control. However, things took a turn for the worse as more emergency crews came into the room to help with the poor victims that were suffering from the main explosion. With all the pressure build up and the confusion of the relief workers another and final explosion was inevitable. Finally, workers were able to put a cork in the leaking pipe. Meetings were held to go over possible caustic agents that could have caused the horrendous disaster but as yet nothing conclusive has been discovered except for stress on a very small valve at the rear of the refinery.
Short version: My puppy's butt exploded with gas at the vet clinic this morning that had everyone in the clinic from the front to the back gasping for air and in tears. It was so bad that they started looking for poop accidents on the floor from him. I laughed until I cried when Michael told me this story especially when the vet staff was talking about my puppy's rancid butt. He has apparently started getting really bad gas when he is stressed out but he doesn't have diarrhea with it. The vet asked what he's being fed and when Michael told him Evo and that it's grain free he suggested maybe a fish and sweet potato food. Michael asked if he thought reconstituted fish and sweet potato would be less rancid than Evo.
I'm so proud! ;D

The tragedy at the Shiner Refinery almost got me in trouble. My husband says I'm on my computer too much, so here I am reading all about the "incident" while he's telling me some story. Every so often I'm saying "mmmhmmm" while I read, when I suddenly bust out with a giggle I can't supress any more and he whips around and says "What's so funny!" Oooh, it was hard to get out of that one!

Shiner is way better on the Evo than he used to be. He was on Purina One Lamb and Rice when I got him and then I changed him to Natural Balance and he was a little better on that and then to Evo. He has improved so much but he still has gas some nights but not nearly as often as he used to. He is still quite odiferous though on those occassions.
Apparently some of the vet staff thought it was Michael at first but then as Shiner was stressed out his butt started singing really loud. Michael said that the vet tech was trying to hold his breath while trying to restrain "toxic gas boy".

Ok......"singing" *is* pretty damning evidence. ;D Ha, ha, ha! Please tell Michael that I'm sorry that I maligned him.
