Puppy Update
Whew it was a rough weekend, no sleep sick dog and lots of worry. Thankfully the pup made a full recovery (well almost full she still looks slightly drunk when running) but it was seriously touch and go for a while.
I discovered she likes camomile tea and it's touted relaxing qualities are not mythical. All night Sunday she whined and growled and howled til I thought my heart would break. I assume it was the pain of her muscles waking up because early monday morning she was walking, walking like a drunk sailor on a ship but I was happy to see it.
If you have never tried to cuddle a dead weight 66lb dog in your lap let me say, it's no easy feat. All my muscles are sore from lifting her head into her water bowl and constantly changing her puppy pads.
Yesterday I gave the house a good scrubbing to get rid of the sick dog smell and I'm beyond glad that that unpleasant interlude is over.
