Oh 1 am already? Time for *panic sleep*!

Touch the ground with your index finger.

Push.

Deeper.

Now plant a seed.

Do it again.

@stefano @tonytoon that's true!

(Also, BSDs don't rugpull the commands as often as some other systems, so once committed to muscle memory, that skill stays useful for years)

Context: I was down with flu; delegated walking and feeding dogs to staff for last 3 days. Went for evening walk, noticed one of my dogs trying to poop, but didn't pass any stool. 3 hrs later, she's pooped a little amount of blackish liquid.

Tried contacting vet, no answer. Don't know if driving all the way to town late at night will be useful if the vet isn't there.

Ask: if you have/had a dog, and have a home remedy that worked for your dog's constipation, p.share!

I'm checking on Puppyta, gave her laxative on vet's advice over text (luckily had it in my medicine box for pets).

So far nothing out of ordinary - she's sleeping, wakes up and get out of her den whenever I go to check on her. Took her for short walks to see if she wants to poop, but isn't trying.

Now the long wait until morning to decide next course of action.
