Plastic, Plastic and more Plastic

That's the diagnosis! After Bentley's exploratory surgery this afternoon, the doctor found a good bit of plastic sitting in his belly. Now, Brad and I do not claim to be expert parents, but we do keep a close eye on our dogs and we pretty much know exactly what, when, where, and how they have gotten into something. So we were both a little surprised to hear that this is what the doctor found. Well, we have done some deductive reasoning and we think that the plastic came from the backyard. This is really the only time that the dogs are "unsupervised." So the culprit of Bentley's belly ache is believed to be a plastic flower pot. The easiest way to prove our hypothesis would be to count the flower pots and see if there is one missing... not so much the case for us. When we moved in the previous owners had all types of flower pots in the backyard. Some were being used as barriers, so their dog couldn't go under the fence, some actually have flowers in them, one is actually a frying pan substituted as a flower pot and others are somewhat unidentifiable! So needless to say, we have no idea if one is missing! But seeing that they are the highest abundance of plastic in our backyard,the percentage is very high that the flower pot is what Bentley ate! Crazy! Anyways, the next thing on our list is a new fence and with that the disposal of unwanted flower pots.

Thanks for all the sweet comments and puppy prayers! Bentley will get to come home tomorrow as long as he doesn't have any complications tonight from his surgery earlier today!
