My day was absolutely top-hole..and yours?

Wake up at six-take meds- back to sleep

wake up at 6:30- get ready...feed dogs...yada yada

7-12 work: relatively boring day...not many dogs.

12:00 pickup by driving instructor for a brief lesson before 1:00 road test.

(Which i failed)

came home....went to the park with mom, dad, grandma and the pups and played ball...

Noted charlie acting a bit odd in the car...slumping in between the seats.

got out of the car..charlie refused  to stand

picked him up...he was panting like never before, completely limp, unable to lift his head...refused water...brought him to the crate...but he was completely limp. Scared the bloody shit out of me.

raced him to the vet. Breathing hadn't gotten better, pupils huge. I swear...i thought i was losing him.

105 temperature, collapsed trachea...vet couldn't even get an x-ray due to the breathing. put him on IVs and whatnot.

I held it together. Almost freaked when the vet asked our consent for 'crisis care' or a DNR.

Just giving you a brief synopsis. Nonetheless, i did not go to class tonight.

Me and Mom did get to see him before we left...the vet'll check in with us in a few hours.

the mongrel was sitting up with an IV line..pupils huge and he was shaking, but he saw me, wagged his tail, and licked my face.

Damn mutt.
