Chasing the Wind

Dogs and HyperActive Thyroids

Dang dogs. I’m pretty sure Patch jumped up on the furniture tonight and got my wife’s thyroid medicine off the end table. When I got home after exercise, it was Bella that was happily chewing on the child-proof (but not dog-proof) plastic bottle.

ASPCA poison control had a nearly incomprehensible technical paper on thyroid overdose. Basically, except for possible vomiting and diarrhea, the dogs should be fine. Dogs don’t absorb thyroid medicine well.

After I’m sure they’re ok, I’m going to kill them. Bad dogs.

    Did I ever tell you my thyroid med story? Apparently, I didn’t close my bottle all the way and the boy at the age of 18 months got into it. He’d only swallowed one or two by the time I figured out what was going on, but I panicked!!

    Scooped him up, fished it all out of his mouth, called poison control. By the time we all settled down, I went back to clean up the rest of the meds. Only there weren’t any to clean up….the dog did it for me.

    Apparently dogs love the taste of thyroid medicine. They don’t love dog medicine, of course, just people medicine.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
