Been a tough day

It's been one of those days that feel like it's been at least a 56 hour day. : )

At midnight last night, me, Darryl & Higgy are asleep ( Higgins always sleeps with us...) and all of a sudden we hear this horrible screaming/whining from Higgy. It jolted us both awake and I grabbed Higgins to see what the problem was. The more I tried to love and comfort him, the worse he seemed to cry. It was heartbreaking...

So I start crying and worrying to death over him. I didn't sleep much past that. I kept worrying about his breathing..so it was just a bad night.

I get up this morning. Darryl and I had already discussed that I'd stay home with Higgins and take him to the vet. So off we go. Come to find out, he's got a slipped disc in his back. Poor baby...He's suppose to rest for 10 days. Still not sure how I'm going to pull THAT off. He still wants to run and jump and he's not suppose to. I went and got a crate (something totally foreign to him) that he's going to have to stay in during the day. That's going to break my heart be/c he's not going to understand WHY he's in there...so fun fun... I just love the little man and can't imagine not having him around.

Still looking forward to the Lap Band seminar tomorrow night. I'm ready to get this process on the road... : )

A slipped disc? I have never heard of that in a dog, but I imagine [because I personally understand] that it is very painful for Higgins too!

How was the seminar? I'm curious to hear all about it!!
