A Rough Night

Yesterday started out a normal day. Thor was doing fine. It was sunny in the morning and he had his normal pep. The weather got cloudier and Thor was sleeping, which is normal. Then in early evening he seemed to be asking for treats. A little unusual, but I just assumed he has learned he can ask for extra treats and get them. Then soon after he ate his dinner he was still asking for treats. Then I noticed some drooling. He looked a bit nauseaus. This scared me! His upset tummy is what started the bleeding two weeks before. I quickly got some pepcid in him and that helped.

The weather got worse and a tornado warning was issued for the next county, and the storm was heading our way. This of course added to my anxiety. Instead of going straight to bed I stayed downstairs until the stormed passed. Thankfully, the tornado warning lapsed without incident and the echo on the radar dissapated before it hit our town. Thor was sleeping very soundly by then and I hated waking him to go up stairs, but up we went. About the time I finally dozed off Thor was up. His tummy was still bothering him.

I got him to lay back down and I got him some yogurt. That seemd to do the trick. He settled down around 1am and slept through the night. I of course did not. It was after 3am before I fell asleep, and I woke up everytime one of the dogs moved. Thor was up by 7:45. Needless to say I am a bit grouchy today.

Thor seems to be fine today. I think the new treats he got may not be the best for him. So no more of those. Plus I think we will be taking a nap this afternoon.

On a side note, my prayers go out to those who lost their homes and loved ones.
