    Our most recent hiking trip was a doozy!!!  We went up north Ga and did a trail called Panther Creek.  So many people had suggested I go there and hike to the waterfalls.  It’s a 3 1/2 mile in and out trail, which means it will be 7 miles total.  Most rate it as a moderate hike and would be very safe for dogs.  Well……we started out, all was well.  Krauser was doing great.  Took him and my two teen sons.  This place is in the middle of nowhere.  Beautiful place.  The hike is alongside water the whole time.  Very isolated and peaceful.  Well, that is until you take the wrong path!!!!  Omg!  There is a fork in the path and you can either follow the blaze marks or not.  Everyone told me to be sure to follow the path nearest the creek.  So, I did.  Man was that stupid!  Krauser is a firm 95# boy who isn’t the most graceful.  I thought Weims are supposed to be light on their feet and element!  HA!  Lol!  So, this path we took turns out to be the eroded path that had been rerouted as so much foot traffic had worn it away and it had become too dangerous.  Naturally.  Literally it was like walking on a cliff with a sheer drop to your death.  We are talking 12″ wide eroded path.  Krauser kept slipping off the side and I was constantly having to keep him and myself from falling to our death.  There were many very steep spots where we had to climb up and down root walls.  One of us would have to climb up and pull Krauser while another was under him pushing.  It was ridiculous.  We finally got to a spot where we could go no further.  It was a story tall wall straight up.  No way could I get Krauser up that.  Not to mention the snakes that were dangling from the roots and trees the whole way.  That wasn’t the scary part!  Lol!  So, we turned around and doubled back.  Got on the right trail and went on another 3 miles.  Got to a waterfall and eh…kept going past that one thinking there was more.  Went on to 6 miles and nothing special.  Decided to turn back and have lunch and take a dip in the ice cold water to rest.  All in all we did almost 10 miles.  Never found the main fall.  As it turns out though upon my return, and back to civilization…we were less than a quarter of a mile from the main even before we turned back!!!  We are going back to conquer this trail, but I won’t be taking Krauser back.  I will not be taking him anywhere new until I go first and stake it out.  That was way too dangerous, the wrong path, for him.  Had we of not screwed up in the beginning, it would have been so much easier and enjoyable, but as it is…

    He haa had stomach issues before and one if his vets said he had IBD, but he doesn’t have any diarrhea at all this time or the spell two weeks ago.  He just vomits randomly.  he eats a single protein food that’s grain and gluten free, Pure Vita salmon and sweet tater.  He is allergic to every protein out there and this is the only food he’s been able to eat.  I’m sure hoping it’s not the food cause I don’t know what there will be left to feed him besides a vegetarian diet.  We’ve tried every dang protein out there, we’ve tried prey model raw also.  I used to be vegetarian, so I would know how to sustain his health, but dang it I don’t want to have to go there.  A dog nutritionist had me do the prey model diet and I really wanted to keep him on it, but his allergies got uncontrollable.  However, he has zero diarrhea.  Every other time he’s ever had problems with food, he’s had diarrhea.

    He did this for 5 days before and never vomited the yellow bile or foamy stuff.  Undigested food.  The white jelly like stuff could be mucus or banana.  I took him to the vet and he mentioned pancreatitis, but it’s obviously  not that because he got better.  I just have him a prilosec.  The vet said to give him those and his sucralfate.   I was hoping for a peaceful, worry free weekend.  To heck with the beer, BasG, I think it’s time for something a little heavier.  I have pineapple vodka, plain vodka, peach schnapps, and red wine….surely I can come up with something good!  Lol!

    Well I’ll be dammed.  sigh.  I just had to talk it back into existence!!!  It’s been two weeks to the day that Krauser has vomited and dammit, he just vomited.  Son of a heifer.  He has been perfectly fine. Just took him out and as soon as we came back in, he vomited 3 times back to back.  All of his lunch, undigested and a carrot he had a little while ago.  Also, white jelly stuff.  Omg I don’t want I deal with this again.  Dammit.  Happy weekend.
