This weeks true story is one that I probably shouldn't share as I am mortified by it every time it gets brought up, but hey, fairs fair right? Most of my stories have been about other people so this week is my most embarrassing moment.

Before I met my husband I was dating and living with a boyfriend. We shared a dog together. An albino boxer that we named Cain. Boxers are a hyper breed as it is and need constant attention and affection. That said, Cain was all those things but intensified by 10! Seriously, he was awful! Ornry through and through. If there was something to get into he'd find it and tear it apart.

So one day I left for work. An 8 hour shift and I wouldnt be home until 8pm or after that night.
I walk in the door to find our livingroom trash can knocked over and trash scattered everywhere! Okay, not unusual so far for a dog but it gets better.

A night or two later when I get home from work I see my ususally high strung bouncing off the walls dog laying in one spot. And he didnt even move when I walked in the door? Something was off. So I go over to him and start petting him. He got up but was sluggish for the rest of the night. Well around midnight that night, we noticed Cain couldnt sit up on his own let alone barely walk.

So we took Cain to an emergency midnight visit with his vet. (Not cheap by the way) The doctor checked him over and took xrays. He had eaten something that the doctor said that he could not pass and would require surgery. So we left Cain in his care and checked back the next morning.

Here comes the embarrassing part. The thing that he had eaten....it was a tampon! I had cleaned out my purse the night before he knocked it over and got into it! The tampon had expanded in his stomach, sucking up all his nutrients so he was severely dehydrated and hungry! I dont think I have ever been redder! So for the next few months I had to live with people asking me how our bloodhound was doing! My face is still red typing this and I'm debating deleting this and typing up a new story!

Okay, so there it is. LOL, my embarrassing moment for you all to get a kick out of! I hope you did and I really hope that I'll be reading some of your embarrassing moments on True Story Tuesdays too!
