poor vegas

So, this is what it’s like to have a sick kid. Vegas had an allergic reaction to her shots today, and after bouts of vomiting and swelling, she received another shot to stop the reaction. Matt told me that her face started swelling up, so I instantly pictured Will Smith in “Hitch”—only with fur. I asked if he took a picture. He didn’t have time. She had to spend the entire day at the vet for observation and “fluid therapy”—drinking water?

Anyway, it turned out to be an expensive and stressful day for us. I’m sitting here at work with a pit in my stomach and a nervous twitch. It’s hard to leave her at the vet with strange people and strange dogs when I could take her home and cuddle with her in our electric blanket. Poor thing.
