Oh, Mimi.


My dog started hacking and coughing and making gross noises at around 12:30am... she was having some breathing trouble, so Maggie called the Animal Emergency center to bring her in. Maggie's been sick, so I said "You call, I'll go."

Naturally, as she was calling, Mimi got better. Playful, even. So I took her downstairs to wait and see if she started hacking again. At about 1am, she started hacking again, so I got her in the van and took her to the 24-hour vet.

And here it sit. Right now, they're x-raying my Flat-Coated Retriever to see what the hell she ate this time.

Love to all. Even you, you sweet, crazy puppy.

Poor puppy! Hope she is feeling better.

Oh! :( It's sad! You're lucky there is a 24 h vet there!

I lost my dog because in my tiny isolated village there wasn't any vet and she'd eaten chicken bones my brother gave her! She died... And many years later I still miss her!

Dogs really do become a family member and when they are sick it's almost as worrying as when it's a human being sick!

Take care, all of you, the dog included!

Oh no. Hopefully it will be something that passes on through.

Last year my Basset Hound ate part of a Christmas ornament. That was fun poop watch.

Oh dear.
Rich, I hope doggie feels better quickly. They have such mournful faces when they're not feeling up to scratch.

Mournful, but very cute still :)
