Brinkley's Back... (back to driving me crazy!)

[Heather & Brinkley]

So as most of you know Brinkley had quite the scare last week.  Saturday we went for our second hospital visit where the gave him lots of fluids and gave us some extra medication.  Well, he's certainly feeling MUCH better... and now I can't keep him still.  I know he's felling better... but I also know that it's only been two days since we were at the hospital and I don't want him pushing it.  He's always been an active dog that enjoyed running... and running... and running (with some fetch thrown in).  But I also know that we need to work back up to that because his little body has been sleeping and fighting for a week straight.  What a difference a couple days make because now I'm fighting to keep him chilled and relaxed. My frustrated dog is unleashing his inner puppy from within...He was never a huge chewer as a puppy but it's like he's channeling the puppyhood chewing stage that he never experienced.  I just found him with a scotch tape dispenser in his mouth.  Thank goodness he hadn't chomped down (ugh! and yikes!) And then I found him with a newspapper in his mouth (with the plastic wrap still on it!!)

Keep in mind, I have NOOOO idea where he found either... because I'm a stress cleaner.  I've been under so much stress that my house is spotless.  

I'm so glad that he's home and feeling better... but if he keeps this up, he won't be healthy for long.  Both of those could have landed him right back in the emergency room.  

We played ball in the hallway and nows he's sleeping.  Phew.

Thanks!  I really was worried last week.  DH and I actually had the "what if he doesn't make it" discussion. Gosh.

I am so glad Brinkley is feeling better. You know they say for new moms to nap when their baby's do - maybe you need a nap too.

[Heather & Brinkley]

Yes, I'm going to bed soon as I have to be up at 4:30. :)  I just can't pull myself away from "Design Star!"

Wonderful news!  I got a good laugh from your "unleashing his inner puppy" comment! LOL!  It's great to hear that he is feeling so much better!

[Heather & Brinkley]

It's true!! I know he's only 1 1/2 and still techincally could still be considered a puppy but chewing was never his thing... until now (i guess!) lol!

I am so glad that Brinkley is back to more normal.  Sounds like he has some feelings about the last week!!
