Hello all!
Sorry that I haven't updated lately. We have been really busy, but we decided last week that we wanted to have a really good weekend. We had a lot of fun, but there was some craziness added in on Friday afternoon.
I got home from work on Friday, and was looking forward to having some 'me time' because Greg was golfing. I let the dogs out, and then we were going to snuggle up on the couch and watch Private Practice. Well, about half way through the episode I realized that Hershee was acting strange. She jumped on the couch and was shaking (which she does sometimes when she has an accident in the house). So, I looked around but I didn't find anything. Then I noticed that not only was she shaking, but she was walking funny. I thought maybe she had dislocated her hip from jumping off of the couch, but I finally decided that wasn't it. I took her outside (I'm panic-stricken at this point) and she can barley walk, she kept falling over because she wouldn't put pressure on her right side. I'm tried calling Greg over and over, but I couldn't get him. Then Hershee just lays on her side, panting and shaking and then she had about 20 seconds of what seemed to be convulsions. I was a basket case. The convulsions stopped and then she got up and took a poop and then she walked about 20 feet and vomited. Then she was perfectly fine, like nothing had ever happened! She was fine and I was very distraught. I got in touch with my Dad who calmed me down, and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. I am hoping that it was a one time thing since she has never done anything like that in her 7 year life. But if it happens again, I'm going to video tape it and then take her to our vet.
After that I was spent. I did not want to do anything! I was so glad that we had left-overs to eat for dinner and that we could just lay on the couch and relax. Of course Greg called as soon as he got my panic-stricken message. He did feel really bad that I had not been able to get in touch with him.
Saturday we had been planning on going to William B. Umstead State Park which is about 15 minutes from our house. I really wanted to go out and hike one of the trails and let the dogs play in the water. So, after a really lazy morning we packing a picnic and headed to the state park. It was a really gorgeous day with no chance of rain for the first time in about 6 days. The dogs had a blast. We did a 2.5 mile hike, and then we walked around until we found some shallow water that the babies could play in. We took some video, and I'll post it when I get home tonight.
We headed home, and got ready because we were picking the baby up from Kate and Mark, taking her home, and putting her to bed. We just made a little date out of it. We made spaghetti for dinner and really enjoyed some quality time together after I got the baby to sleep.
Sunday morning we were pretty lazy. We did get the laundry going pretty early which is always a good thing. Greg played some Tiger Woods on the Wii, and then I wanted to do this Yoga DVD that we got. So, we moved the ottoman and both got enough room to do yoga. We probably did 30-35 minutes of the DVD. It was really hard, but I really enjoy doing yoga. Greg had a harder time because he tried to do every pose and exercise in the most advanced way. We did enjoy it though. I'm hurting all over today!
Sunday afternoon we went over to a friend's apartment and had a kind of pool party. The only problem was their pool wasn't open yet, so everyone just hung out around the pool, laid out, and ate. I was surprised that the pool was not open yet, and they actually had staff monitoring to make sure that no one got in (which I thought was bizarre). I'm not sure what the huge deal was.
Overall I would say that we did end up having a good weekend despite Hershee's 'episode' on Friday afternoon. I'm very thankful that she is okay. I hope that everyone has a fantastic week!
