not the way it should start

My Christmas Eve started at 3:15 a.m. with a sick pup. She's still not at anything like 100%. Fussfussfuss.

Christmas Eve is my holiday. Christmas Day after 9:00 a.m., I'm pretty much done -- I'm cheerful enough about going along with other people's celebrations, including my immediate family's, but the stuff I care about is over by the time the apple bread and cinnamon rolls get scarfed.

Fuss. Fussfuss.

What's wrong with the pup?

Mmmm... cinnamon rolls sound good. Will you have one for me?

She woke up to throw up at 3:15 a.m., and she didn't respond with the good cheer that sometimes accompanies puply vomit. (You know what I mean? That sometimes they throw up and it's totally no big deal to them. This was not one of those times.) When she got up in the morning, she was staggery and favoring her back right leg. She got chilled very quickly when she went out in the yard and did not get warmed very quickly at all.

She's been favoring the right hind leg a bit all day, but I think it was probably unrelated, and she seemed to be getting over it. She wasn't much interested in food until about 9:00, and then suddenly it was Time To Eat. So I think whatever it was, she's past it now -- still recovering a bit, maybe.

Poor puppy! I hope she feels better for the holiday and that you're able to enjoy yourself.

Happy Holidays!!!
