Just having a bad day
Or week… or month… lol. Our senior dog has been dealing with some health issues for the past couple weeks. She has an infection somewhere in her GI track. She’s 13 and I know that she’s not going to be here forever. She’s been on some antibiotics since Tuesday and they’ve helped but they’ve made her really nauseous. So I had been battling getting her to eat but she’s been picky and then the antibiotics have made her more picky and now nauseous. Our vet knees everything and has been helping me work through it. She’s in good health otherwise.
Last night she threw up around 1:40AM. I got up and took her blankets/bed downstairs to be washed. My husband was asleep the whole time. I scrubbed the white/grey carpet and he still didn’t get up. Then she threw up a super small bit in another part of our room. So I called to him to wake up. I needed him to help because I could clean and grab her at the same time. So he woke up, took her out. The reason she’s throwing up is because she’s eating grass. A LOT of it. My husband let his friend take our mower a month ago and the grass is over a foot tall in our backyard. He’s in no hurry to get it back either. So every time she goes out she eats so much grass. So afterwards he comes back in and tells me she ate a bunch of grass again. 😣 he then lays down and takes a melatonin. Goes back to bed. I’m still scrubbing the giant stain on the rug. Back to bed sometime after 3.
4-4:30 my toddler wakes up and is playing in her bed. Giggling and laughing on the monitor on my side of the bed.
6:00 am and the dog threw up again. More grass. Poor thing. I feel so bad. I clean up the bed as best as I can and take the other blankets down to be washed. First load from earlier didn’t full clean. Have to wash them again… I’m so tired… Have barely slept all night.
Wake up for the day and take the dog out. Call the vet first thing and have to wait for a call back. Get her back inside and baby is awake. So time to start the day! Around 12 the dog threw up again in the living room. Get the carpet cleaner out and start cleaning it and my husband is having lunch. Did I mention I’m tired? Lol. Get a call from the vet and they said to stop the antibiotics. The dose might be too much and that’s why she’s getting sick. Keep an eye on her the next couple of days.
My husband puts our toddler down for a nap around this time. I lay down on the couch because I have a huge headache and I’m just super stressed. I just need to sit and chill. Decompress. My husband sits down with me and tells me that he just needs to relax today because he has a headache. A few minutes later he tells me that I can blow him and it will help his headache because he’s not feeling good. I tell him I have a headache too and I’m not feeling very good either. I was up all night and in between everything I have been trying to get things cleaned in the laundry. He coaxes me into it and the whole time I’m just super annoyed at him. If he doesn’t get sex or oral every two days he doesn’t think we’re doing our martial duties.
Afterwards my daughter wakes up. I get more laundry switched over and do more cleaning around the house. While my husband get my daughter from waking up I go in the bathroom. Just to get away. *knock knock* he asks if I want her to come in with me…. “Not right now please”. I just need some alone time.
Sorry I just needed to vent alittle to someone who doesn’t know me or anything. Just get it off my chest a little bit. I know we all have times in life like this.
