This summer my one goal, other than set up the nursery, was to break Kali of the kennel. She has been kennel trained since a puppy. With a baby on the way I did not want a huge kennel in the house when Baby Girl starts crawling... not to mention it was looking quite tacky in the breakfast area. Hence this summer's goal.
Kali has done so well, but we have to put the trashcan on the counter or else she demolishes the trash bag. I don't mean pulls out a few pieces, but somehow the trashcan stays in place and every piece of trash is in the next room by her bed. We wish there was a secret camera so we could watch this monstrosity. Well the other night it was worse than ever. We were over at my mom and dad's for dinner and we came home to a room full of trash, fruit peels & rines, and everything in between. Kali seemed to be okay except for a bruised ego and bum after a few swats. But the following day this is what our search engine looked like...
Yesterday she couldn't stop vomiting and there was nothing in her poor stomach. After a few hours of hurling, we were concerned about dehydration and at 1:30 in the morning after a call to the local emergency vet we were on our way. Man... Ill tell you what, I am in the wrong business! After a $120 walk in doctor's exam fee, a shot and fluids for our dehydrated puppy, at 3:30am our wallets were feeling a lot lighter. We left with a hunch back dog as well. They injected the fluids right below her neck and above her back and she had a huge bubble of fluids. (The picture doesn't do it justice, I promise).
As we pulled out a local police officer pulled into the gas station and came right behind us. When you're the only car on the road at 3:30am its inevitable... the lights came on. A sick dog, an emergency visit and now a ticket... Thankfully my police officer knew this policeman and after a 20 minute chat we were on our way.
What a rough, ROUGH 24 hours for this family.
We have had a pretty lazy morning, afternoon ... well a lazy day! :) I reached for the non decaf coffee this morning. I know tsssk, tssk! That's what 4 hours of sleep will get you.
This is what our day has looked like... Poor Girl! :(
I took this opportunity to tackle and Pinterest DIY tutorial and redo a lampshade for Baby Girl's dresser.
Reaction... I LOVE IT!
Looking back... I am thankful for 24 hour emergency vets, cloudy lazy days and a chance to relax before the craziness of the school year begins! And I'm definitely thankful to see Kali's tail wagging again.
