There are no two ways about it, Tygey is incorrigible.
Yesterday evening, Tyge would not touch his dinner. Definitely unusual behavior. But, I chalked it up to our dinner preparations - left over Thanksgiving goodies, such as turkey and stuffing. I figured he was too distracted by bigger and better things to eat mere kibble. My bet was that he'd get back to his food bowl later in the evening.
However this morning, his kibble was still in his bowl and he showed absolutely no interest in munching down. At this point, Peter and I became a tad concerned. Tyge was definitely zippy, but to not touch his kibble over a twelve hour time period was unheard of. My thought was that we would monitor him over the day and if he still wasn't eating by dinner time, a visit to Pet Emergency might be in the cards.
Thirty minutes later, Peter comes thundering up the stairs proclaiming, "Mystery Solved!"
Yesterday afternoon, Peter had started pulling out all of holiday goodies out of the storage closet. As a part of the pulling out process, some Halloween stuff came out because the Christmas decorations were behind the Halloween goodies. Well, unbeknownst to us, buried at the bottom of our Halloween kettle was a stash of Halloween candy.
Guess who discovered the stash and then snuck off throughout the evening and the night to graze on the stash? Yup - you guessed correctly. The Tyge-a-boo.
He made himself sick on Halloween candy. Fortunately, there was no chocolate in the stash. Just a ton of Starburst.
And of course after our discovery whilst on our on our morning Coastal Trail walk, Tyge had multiple massive instances of the runs. Ugh...I'll need to go out tomorrow with a shovel and bucket to scoop up the by-then frozen candy effluent.
He is such a complete disaster on the food front. This would also explain why he was so bouncy last night and this morning. Sugar high.
