BUNNY BUTTS!!!!!

Don't ya just love cute, fuzzy, fluffy bunny butts??? hehehehehe

That is my dad's pet name for my son. Bunny Butt. lol

Okay gonna talk about my dog today. I didn't post about this earlier, it happened back when I was sick a few weeks ago.

We had a little issue with my pointer mix. My 13 year old dog. My old man.

Buster, he has had two surgeries on his back legs, so walks very stiff, he's losing teeth, he's going blind, and his ummm what's it called? The flap that closes off his air way or esophagus, well that flap isn't closing all the way anymore. So...he aspirates water sometimes, and we have to beat his lungs, and it makes him short of breath so he pants alot, and does get over heated easy. But as long as he's not in pain and can eat and walk, then he is gonna stick around. Yes we have to give him lots of meds, pain meds and joint meds.

Anyhow...back when I was getting over being sick. I was sitting on the couch in here in the living room. I heard Buster get up in the bedroom. Heard his collar, and him shake his head. Then I heard FWUMP. I thought to myself that one of the baskets of laundry fell over. (I had about 6 piled up in a pile in there, haven't folded since I was sick)

I wait for a minute or two and didn't hear the dog. I called him, didn't hear him. I thought, man maybe the basket fell over and trapped him in there, but I should hear him moving around.

I hollared "BUSTER YOU OKAY??" And I lean forward. I see my dog, collapsed, on his side, he had pee'd all over, and wasn't moving.

I thought he had fricken dropped dead. I get massive adrenaline rush and I look closer and see his side moving up and down, but he is not.

I call Gigantor screaming at him to get home, the dog collapsed and peed all over himself. I'm no where near strong enough to lift this dog, and with my leg/health issues, I couldn't even get on my knees by him.

But I go rushing in there anyway, calling his name. He lifts his head, rather confused, and looks at me like "what??" I go. "omg are you okay baby??" I asked him if he could get up, and he still looks confused. He finally stood up, walked into the living room and layed down on the dog bed in there. I follow him, crying. Cuz it upset me so bad.

Gigantor gets home like 5 seconds later, and Buster gets up and greets him, and walks outside for a few, then back inside.

I was so upset, and confused for a minute. All we could figure out was he had either a heart attack or a seizure. We thought stroke, but the heart attack or seizure would make him pee all over like that.

It was a weekend. Gigantor wanted to call the vet, which this vet here (the only one) Charges so much it would have been an almost 200 dollar emergency call.

I said, no he looks okay and all the vet will say is to keep an eye on him. So...on Monday I called them anyway and asked them about it. They said with his breathing problems, he probably got over heated or not enough oxygen and did have a seizure. And yes, all they told me was to keep an eye on him. They said he would start having more, and eventually it probably wouldn't be the pain in his legs, but his breathing problems, and or his seizures that will finally do him in.

Man I was so scared people, but my big old man hasn't had any problems since. We have been lucky.

If you all have an old doggers, or heck even a young one, or even any pet. Give them an extra I love ya pet from us today.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.
