Saturday, we went to explore a couple of towns that we are house shopping in and came across the cutest little diner for brunch. We started thinking of how we can't wait to have our own place with our dogs and children some day. Sunday, we went to a friends house for our fantasy football draft and afterwards we played the game Loaded Questions (adult). Let me tell you, that game is HILARIOUS! I highly recommend it.
We came home Sunday night and let the dogs out for a little and got into bed. Our girl dog, Hurley, was acting strange and wanting to go outside like every 10 minutes. It was dark so I couldn't tell at first, but she was having diarrhea. She started trembling and was just so out of it. Jaci and I decided it was best to take her to the emergency vet hospital. We put our boy dog in his crate and left for the hospital around 3am. After getting pretty lost, we finally found it. By this time, Hurley's skin was on fire. They took her back to do all of the basic tests and brought her back out to us. She was wagging her tail like crazy as they brought us to an exam room. As we waited for the doctor, Hurley started to vomit. The doc came in and she let us know about a couple of different things that could be going on. We had an option to take her home after they injected fluids under her skin, or have her stay there hooked to an IV. At this point, I have tears in my eyes at the thought of my 6.8 pound Yorkie hooked up to an IV. We opted to take her home with some anti-nausea meds. She was completely fine in the car ride home, but once we got in, the vomiting continued. We called the vet and were told not to let her have any water until noon. I had her in the bathroom with her bed in hopes she would calm down, but she wanted Jaci and Bear. I asked Jaci if she could sit in there with her to calm her down and it totally worked! Jaci is super calming. I ended up bringing a comforter and 2 pillows into the bathroom and we all slept in there for a couple hours. Needless to say, Monday was spent sleeping on and off for us and the 2 pups. It was heartbreaking to see her so sick and it was exhausting too. I guess it is semi-preparation for having a baby! (Very semi).
