I have 3 dogs and they have never been sick.[/QUOTE]
this is all I could find:
[quote]Basically the description dates back to at least the 17th Century and refers to the tendency of dogs to eat almost anything they can get their paws on, even stuff they shouldn’t. Which of course often results in them vomiting the material right back up again.
And since vomiting is so closely aligned with human illnesses, the obvious parallels gave birth to the phrase.

[quote]There are several expressions of the form sick as a ..., that date from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Sick as a dog is actually the oldest of them, recorded from 1705; it is probably no more than an attempt to give force to a strongly worded statement of physical unhappiness. It was attached to a dog, I would guess, because dogs often seem to have been linked to things considered unpleasant or undesirable; down the years they have had an incredibly bad press, linguistically speaking (think of dog tired, dog in the manger, dog’s breakfast, go to the dogs, dog Latin — big dictionaries have long entries about all the ways that dog has been used in a negative sense).[/quote]

damn, that reminded me. Was with a girl who had a golden retriever. She picked me up one day in her car, windows rolled up. After about 2 mins of driving, the most rottenest smell filled the car. Turned around and the dog was in the back seat looking sad, like he had done something wrong. In front of him was a dead squid he had found down at the beach earlier and ate but waited to get back into the car to throw up.
Had to throw out the blanket he was sitting on and evacuate the car for a while.

My dog use to eat blades of grass as we were going for a walk/jog. Then after a few minutes he would start coughing up or vomiting said blades of grass. Then after a few minutes he would start eating new blades of grass. I don't think he was smart enough to correlate one event with the other. He use to also chew and eat sticks/branches at the dog park and then puke them up once we got home.

My mom told if she says something I must not question her :p. I guess they are referring to sick stray dogs. Seen some around here that look like zombies.
Just got back from the doctor and was put on 4 meds. :(

Fuark: An expression of excitment, emotion, and energy when something awesome happens, or a mad beat kicks in. Has no relation to "f***" but can be used in the same sentence with it.
Can be said as a simple "FUARK!" or an exaggerated "FUUUAAARRRK!!"

I don't think its meant to be used as an adjective but it's better than yolo

Lol! I see you mentioned earlier you had IBS. I was diagnosed with it in 2000. Been on meds ever since.

I was recently diagnosed, but my doctor is a clown and won't prescribe me anything despite the fact that it triggers up to 4x a week. bulking is nearly impossible for me. speaking of which, I need to start searching for a new doctor.
My landlord's dog licked my elbow after I put capsaicin on it...I thought it might die. Everything went better than expected and he just licked his mouth for half an hour. Whimpered not even once.

My dog loves licking people so my brother put vaseline on his hands and came into my room. Of course my dog licked his hands. Couple hours later, he started vomiting and I had to take him to the vet. Vet gave me pills and I gave it to my dog. Couple hours later he started getting hives, turns out my dog is allergic to the pills. Had to go back and get new pills and another pill to counter hives. I hope capsaicin doesn't cause the same thing.

I hardly have any flare ups now. I had trouble gaining weight myself. I weighed 116lbs in my early 20's. Got on amitriptyline and works like a charm. :)

I don't mind posting it here. Its not an illegal/bad drug and may help someone else. As for side effects, none for me except a little drowsiness when first getting use to it which is why I took it at night. It's even safe enough for pregnant women to take so not a bad drug at all. My wife's OB/GYN says they actually give it to pregnant women when the nerves kick in. Also, its not habit forming. All it really does is relax your nerve endings which relieves the pain from the spasms you get in your colon from IBS which people associate with stomach pain. Also will relax your mind a bit which they say IBS stems from anxiety, stress, nervousness etc which cause the different side effects. The good thing about it is it last 24 hours so I take mine every evening around 7:00pm. It helped me to sleep in the beginning so I just stuck with that schedule. I started out on 5mg and the doctor increased it until we found the dosage that worked for me which was 75mg at the time (I know some people who take almost twice that). Since then I've minimized it and only take 20 mg. I use to run to the bathroom no less than 8 times a day and this has helped minimize that. :)
