People just love their little fur babies, don’t they? I’ve always hated that expression, but hey, who am I to judge? I’ve always had dogs and cats since I was a kid. It’s just what you did as country folks. We needed the cats to keep the mouse population in check, and dogs to keep the cat population in check. Circle of life stuff. What we never did, however is have animals in the house. Nope, no way my parents were going to deal with the mess or the trouble. I can’t really blame them. I have dogs and cats in my house and it’s a daily battle with hair and litter. Plus, I haven’t been able to sit alone on my couch for years.
The best folks though are the ones that are just a little too comfortable with their pets. You know the type, they kiss their dogs on the mouth, feed them from the table, sleep with them, talk to them like they have any clue what they are saying. One woman in Britain had the unfortunate experience of spending three days in the hospital recently after napping with her dog. How would that land you in the hospital? Better not sleep with your mouth open!
A woman is recovering from a horrendous ordeal after her daughter’s dog accidentally did a poo on her face while she was asleep – and left her hospitalised. Amanda Gommo, 51, was taking an afternoon nap with chihuahua Belle when the pup became ill and had violent diarrhea.

I’m afraid just a “poo” on the face isn’t quite enough to merit a hospital visit, if you know what I mean. This unfortunate mouth breathing woman got the world’s worst Scooby snack. I would expect this from a Shih tzu or a cockapoo, but not from a cute little chihuahua! I actually have a cockapoo. I think he would do it just for meanness.
Amanda, from Bristol, said: “I was having my afternoon nap with Belle, like I always do, when I suddenly felt something squirt in my mouth.
“I rushed to the bathroom and my son was in the shower, so before I washed it out I had time to take a quick snap!
“It was disgusting, and I was hurling violently for hours after – I just couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth.”
Mistake number one was having the dog’s business end ANYWHERE near her face, especially during a nap. I’ll get up off the couch if my dog’s butthole is even on my arm. Time to burn my shirt!
Mistake “number two” was taking the time to snap a quick selfie with a face and mouth full of, well number two. What was the plan? Instagram picture of the day? Snapchat? Who wants to see that?
Disgusting is not a strong enough word. Life altering maybe, in that you aren’t going to nap with little Scooby “doo” again. Scooby DON’T! It wasn’t even in my mouth, and I can’t get the taste out either!
Amanda’s daughter took Belle to the vet where the pooch was diagnosed with a nasty stomach bug and put on antibiotics.
But later that day, Amanda started displaying the same symptoms as Belle, so she rang 111 who sent an ambulance to her home.
Paramedics prescribed her painkillers for her stomach cramps and instructed her to drink lots of water to flush out any potential infection.
This is what you get from free, government provided healthcare folks! “You ate some dog doodie and now you are violently ill? Here’s some Tylenol, drink plenty of water and never try to kiss me.” This is a no doubt, slam dunk ambulance ride right into the emergency room for me, even before I started getting sick. Is there a way to boil your face and mouth?
Amanda’s symptoms continued to worsen, and eventually she spent three days in the hospital with the same stomach bug the dog had. I had no idea people could get dog viruses, but I’m glad I now know. The next time my cat sneezes I’m going to the ER.
The good news is, everyone recovered, including the dog, and hopefully valuable lessons were learned about which direction to point your pooch if you are going to insist on sleeping with him.
After their visit, her symptoms became progressively worse, and 48 hours later, Amanda’s cramps had spread all over her body.
Amanda’s mum then rang 999 who dispatched another ambulance, and this time she was transported to Bristol Royal Infirmary and immediately hooked up to a drip.
There, doctors diagnosed Amanda with a gastrointestinal infection that had been passed through Belle’s faeces into her mouth days earlier.
