It's like throwing a 5 gallon bucket of puke on the rug (and walls, and anything else in a 5 foot radius). I've actually used a shop-vac to clean up after that dog when she's thrown up.

And my husband never cleans it up; if I am at work he very carefully covers it with newspaper and leaves it for when I come home (even if that is 12 hours after the event). I will say that I'm pretty unfazed by the mess; I see lots worse in the ER (oops--ED). Of course the fact that I spend 10-20 hours a week as a volunteer in our local animal shelter spay/neuter clinic as a veterinary assistant makes me somewhat of an expert in animal messes. But I'll take any animal mess, however disgusting over C-diff any day!! None of my pets ever seem to hit tile floors–only carpet!!
