Shortly afterward, I gave him about a half cup of kibble which he ate and kept down and another half cup about two hours ago which he has kept down. He's drinking a normal amount of water. He hasn't had any treats today. He has chewed on grass and sticks, which is an everyday thing with him. No change in our schedule or routine. Nothing really out of the ordinary I can think of.
He has not had his evening poop which would normally be about an hour from now. I'm not sure if he will have one this evening since his food came up, but I would like to see a healthy stool so I don't worry so much.
He seems bright eyed, happy, playful, everything just like normal, so I'm not sure if this is anything I should be concerned about or if it was just a "one off". Has anyone else ever had anything like this?

I don't worry too much when a dog throws up once. IF they are acting ok otherwise, as he seems to be.
And yes, I've had many dogs do this. I keep an eye on them for that day. (Could be the grass he ate that made him sick. And sometimes dogs will eat grass when they feel off, to help them toss up whatever is making them queasy.)
I think it would be ok to just watch him. If he throws up again or has abnormal bowel movements, or quits drinking then call your vet.
