Sorry about the title. LOL, humor me, I'm delirious!
I have had an incredibly emotional and frustrating week dealing with my dog and her mystery ailment. We have been treating her for a "slipped disk" sort of issue in her neck. She's on pain killers, muscle relaxers and steroids. She shouldn't be feeling a thing at this point. All tests for liver, pancreatitis and Valley Fever have come back negative. She has resorted to being a puppy and I have become the mean mommy. Whenever I am around she acts up, trembling and whimpering. But when I'm not around, she's perfectly fine. The vet said she is doing it to get attention from me. SO ANNOYING. So now I have to be stern and not baby her (mean mommy).
All of this has caused me a lot of stress. Last night I went to sleep just fine but woke up at 12:30am and could not go back to sleep. I moved to the couch where I laid for hours, not sleeping. Around 4am I finally fell asleep only to wake up two hours later for work. This is not something I want to do again. I find my mind is always on my dog, listening for her whimper.
I am praying that this is just a stage and that she will soon go back to being my sweet puppy. And then I have the baby and we'll get to deal with that!
