The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

When I said my dog was freaking out over this move, I wasn’t overstating it. He whined with a racing heart and sometimes hyperventilating, all while not eating for 2 days. I was concerned so hand fed him his food this morning. I went to the store, and when I returned he was pacing and trying to his best to throw up, never being able to. He was also crying a hell of a lot more.

Took him to urgent care and X-Ray revealed his stomach filpped. ☹️ They punctured a hole in his side to release gas- then off to the hospital for surgery. When we arrived the front desk immediately picked up the phone and said, “Triage, GDV!” They came running out to get him and took him straight back. I was able to give him a quick kiss on the operating table before they began.

After surgery, they keep him a couple days- then it’s 14 days with a cone until they remove the staples. He’s in surgery right now.

To be clear – his stomach flipped today and not over the past two days. He would’ve died if I’d waited. As soon as he showed signs of this situation, I took him in. It’s the stress he’s been under that brought this on.

Decided against manicotti as my first cooked meal in this house – I picked up game hens and I’m going to cook two in a Dutch oven over carrots and potatoes. When they’re done, I’ll remove them all from the pot and make a gravy out of the drippings. Seasoned to perfection, of course. 😉

This will be my third night here, but the last two days have been hectic with settling in so I just had a sandwich the first night and Chinese take out last night. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My dog has cried all night long these first two nights here and I’m hoping he adjusts as soon as possible. It’s almost a little funny that I got him for my anxiety, and he has been diagnosed with anxiety. He even has a prescription that his vet recommends he use if he’s leaving the house. 😬

He’s just over 4 years old, but this house is raised, and he has to go up and down stairs to go potty in the backyard. I’m definitely going to need some pros over here to make a ramp because as a Labrador, I don’t want him to be having issues with his joints anymore than they’re already susceptible to have.

In other news, I couldn’t be more pleased with my bed. New bed, new mattress, new pillow. Sleep heaven has arrived. Lord, how I have needed this in my life! 🛏️

The first meal plans sound amazing! I hope there will be pictures!
Aww! I hope your fur baby gets settled and adjusted, poor dude. I can imagine it's confusing for him.
Sleep heaven sounds wonderful! I love my mattress and pillow! When we travel I always miss it so much, but when we get back home it's an immediate relief to be back in my own bed.
