Holidays and Dogs... a connection?

What is it with holidays and our dogs?

Recently, the one doesn't pass without an impact on the other.

Today, our little girl Zara, who only a month ago narrowly survived Rat Poison she ate on Thanksgiving, is again sickly.

This time, we have no idea what could be the problem. She hasn't been out of our sight, and hasn't been eating anything strange. Still, she is listless and taking very short, shallow breaths. Clearly something isn't right... she is usually a very rambunctious, energetic, even mischievous puppy.

We've been racking our brains, trying to think of what might she have done to cause this. So far, no clue.

So, rather than wait until morning for a "regular" Veterinarian visit as we had planned earlier in the afternoon, we are now driving her to the 24-hour Emergency $$$ Vet about 15 miles from our home.

Please keep Zara in your prayers, again. We'd be lost without her Amore heart!
