Happy birthday, Spider

Love the crown

Happy birthday, Spider. Looks like fun was had.

Oh you're getting to be a big girl! Happy birthday, Spider!!

Spider kicked splinter out of his bed. She barely fits with his pillow and blanket

Love the pic

Spider got really really sick on Thursday. Well she took a shit that looked partially digested. Then the second one was watery and the 3rd 1 was pure liquid. When we got her home she had blood dripping from her anal area. Called the vet. They decided it was bacterial after fecal was neg for parasites and pis for bacteria. Other then the shitting in the truck and the bleeding and the watery stool she was acting normal and eating normal. No fever. It was the new vet office. They gave me antibiotics and the bleeding stopped and shes still being spider.

And of course this sent jerry manic especially driving through flooding in the pass in the rockslide area. I noticed when i come out of the pass i have a grey blue smoke coming from the tailpipe. Not sure if its normal or the elevation strain or what.

I believe gray smoke suggests steam? You were driving through flooding?

@Lostmaniac Our dogs are doing their best to keep us on our toes ... but my feet are beginning to hurt!!

@amymeme given the situation, yeh, probably water in / on the exhaust. But it could be a head gasket, too. If this is the one you recently got and it came from low altitude you might be seeing gas from a too rich mixture.

Im thinking the rain and the elevation change created some type of blowback. Or steam or condensation buildup. Everywhere i went was lower then here except the pass over the continental divide and it happend both times in the same spot coming down into the slv. And both times it was either raining or had rained recently. It was more white gray then blue grey. Also noticed the continue driving to clean exhaust filter right around the same time (cant remember if it was before or after or how soon)

@aljones i got one of those car sheid plans so if it needs an overhaul i will overhaul it. Ive lost 2 trucks to head gaskets. An 81 Sierra and a 90s silverado. Its not fun. But its an 08 so it should auto calibrate.

And of course spider is her normal self again.

Glad spider is feeling better. bloody anything is always a concern. If much food went through undigested it may have just irritated the lining of her intestines enough the bleed a bit.
