Denali's Diagnosis

For those who were so concerned about Denali when she was sick, I was able to make a diagnosis yesterday. It seems that at some point during the week (most likely Saturday on our hike up Mill Creek Canyon), our lovely Denali, swallowed a rock. It was her first hiking trip in the mountains so apparently she wanted to take home a souvinier. And since dogs don't have pockets the next best thing was to swallow it. Rocks just happen to be Denali's favorite toy, and though she has played with them ever since she was a pup, I don't recall her ever swallowing one. You may wonder how I was able to come to this conclusion? I happened to be cleaning up the yard so Terri could mow (she wanted to) and there was something odd about one of her...bathroom breaks? Forensic reports showed that this abnormality was without a doubt a rock.
