Sick as a dog

Well, my dog is sick. I will be leaving soon to take him to the vet. Poor guy, yesterday he just kept pooping and throwing up. Without having a fenced in yard we had to make do with putting him outside on the lead. He seemed to be getting better later in the evening and could actually hold down a couple ounces of water at a time. He is still having trouble keeping food down it seems. Since we have had kids with the same symptoms recently, we are pretty well prepared to handle it.
