A Long Night for Everyone

This was not a good night for us. We settled about 10 and I tossed/turned until ...

1 am when I tried to get to Gma but threw up beside her bed. Gma thinks my stomach holds a full quart of fluid - I upshucked it all. While Gma cleaned, Gpa and I went outside for a walk around the yard. Once settled I had more restless sleep until I tried to get up on G&G's bed (ouch)...about 3 am - only got my front legs up and she stopped me and besides it hurt.

3 am Gma & I walked outside/around the yard and then Gma got her pillow and blanket and laid on the floor with me until 5 am - it felt so good to snuggle next to her and have her arms around me even when I couldn't lay still. She talked soft to me when I cried/whined. We sort of co-mingled with that collar thing that keeps getting in my way and bumping into things. No matter how hard I try (and I did a lot during the night) to clean my stomach area where it hurts that collar won't allow it. So instead, my back leg gives a kick every once in a while.

5 am - Gpa woke up cause I was making a lot of noise trying to get comfortable. So we all 3 decided to go outside and walk - oh dear.....sometime between 1 am & 3 am guess I tried to get to the patio door again and threw up on the white carpet (another quart of green liquid). Gma is glad I didn't have any solid food. Since I'm really not 'speaking' to either of them and my world is still a bit blurry/dizzy - it is hard for them to know what I need (I'm not even sure since I've never felt like this before).

5-5:45 - Gp & I walked all around the yard - my regular vigil but at a much slower pace.

Since we were all up we decided to stay up and sit by the fire - we all took 'cat' naps and I must say I am feeling much better - I'm thirsty/want water but Gma is limiting that for now. I think today will be a better day and I'm actually getting around pretty well now with that collar thing and I can even sniff the ground, eat/drink from my dish and give Gma Gpa kisses for taking such good care of me.

I know my master is worred for me too so I hope he knows I will be ok.
