Bailey :(...and the rest of the family
Well, I have to admit that I am the cause of the sad face above. On Sunday, I was running to the store for some last minute lunch items, and I ran over Bailey, our dog. I do not know where hit her, other than on her back half, but she is not looking too hot.We took her right to the vet who said that nothing was broken, but gave us the names of 3 animal hospitals to consider if there was internal injuries. Clif and I have no intention of spending that kind of money on the dog, but I sure feel bad about what happened. I was a total mess after it happened and while we were at the vet. She made it throught the night, and is still able to walk some. She seems VERY stiff and sore. We cannot get her to eat anything and water is hard for her to keep down. I have been giving her a few tablespoons at a time every 30 minutes, and she can usually keep that down. She has gone outside a couple of times today and goes to her favorite part of the yard, but has not peed or pooped since yesterday morning. I am hoping that she is still just really sore....it makes me think about when I had a baby and had to poop and how much that hurts when you are so sore.....hoping that tomorrow is better. She is definitely walking better today and her gums look pinker (which the vet said was a good sign). Now the kids....we need to get back to school schedule. No one seems to be getting enough sleep to make it through the day. Drew is whining non stop and refusing to eat anything that I cook. Chip is spending his day torturing Drew so that he whines and cries more, and Kate has made the good decision to stay out of it all. At least one of them is making good choices today. I am stressed about the dog, especially since it was my fault, and they are not helping! AAARRGGHH!
