I am a PRO at the spatula trick

......my daughter always threw-up at night. Lots of showering her and cleaning up the mess in the middle of the night.
She FINALLY grew out of it at about 12 yrs old.
I have been lucky with the dogs.....outside of a few episodes of vomiting, they have been great!
Sorry you had to deal with that Annmarie.... getting past the gross factor, that must have been painful & to hard clean with the shape you are in.
