in my last post where i said today was boring, i lied, today was very interesting, we'll start with the zombie nightmare at 3 am, yes, paul and i were killed by some crazy mobster hotel worker guy and when the car we were killed in crashed (we were shot while trying to escape), they tried to dispose of our bodies and i said, hey i'm not going out like that (i can usually have some level of control my dreams) so i got up and was gonna fight back, and the guys said, good your a zombie, now you work for us.... yeah i dream weird and vivid.
so i woke up and was a little scared to fall back asleep, when a night begins with bad dreams they usually continue. so i sat up on the laptop until 5am took the dogs out, saw Paul off to work, warned him of possible zombie mobsters, and took a tylenol PM and went back to sleep, more weird dreams, but i dont remember them.
Got up again, this time at 1030 (damn tylenol pm totally knocked me out!) made some tea and talked to mom on scype. got ready for my dentist apt that was scheduled for 130, at 110 they called me to cancel. yeah good think i hadnt walked out the door because i was about to. so whatever.
i got off the phone and i found Aiko in the kitchen sitting on the tile (she hates tile, this was totally out of character) trembling, and looking so sad. she shakes every now and then so i called her over and she sort of got up and took a step and then sat back down. she wouldnt look at me, i thought maybe she did something bad, nope nothing chewed up, nothing doodied on, so i scooped her up and we sat on the couch, she was curled in my arms (again very unusual my aiko is a rambunctious beast even when she is relaxed she wont get that close to faces without licking) and she was just trembling. so i decided to take her to bed where we could lay down and snuggle, she didnt want to, she wanted to lay in the bathroom and just shake, she didnt want anything to do with me at this point, nor did she want toys or treats.
so now i'm freaking out, i call the vet because from what i've heard about dog seizures this can be how they act afterwards for several minutes to hours. the vet tells me to take her to the doggie er in a few hours if she hasnt stopped. i hang up, completely in tears, and run to the bathroom to check on my poopsie. she looks at me (for the first time in nearly an hour) and i collapse on the floor to snuggle her, and she gets up, walks to me and licks my tears away. I'm also pretty sure she said 'it's okay mom i feel better now' and then she went to nibble on my fingers. She's fine now, but were still gonna have a regular vet appt. to make sure everything is a-ok. now she's sleeping like an angel, well an angel with really bad gas.
Paul and i were discussing todays incident later and i remembered that about 1 i was looking for some medical records in the fireproof safe, which is behind the couch, and when i pulled it out the dogs ran back there to get toys that had been thrown/knocked back there. i also remembered that a few months ago we had a MAJOR ant issue and they were coming in through that wall, and we had practically basted those floor boards with RAID. so part of me things maybe she sniffed/licked some residual raid stuff and it just made her feel really bad. i just really hope nothing is wrong with my poopsie. she is my world. i'm gonna keep an eye on her, but not freak out and get all dog hypochondriac on her.
oh and i got my hair cut again today, shorter, i'll get some pictures eventually.
