Dogs Dogs Dogs!

For those of you who are not dog owners you are going to think that this next post is silly. But, we have 2 dogs. We have had Willis since right after we got married, he is a beagle and he was our first baby. He has moved all over the country with us and he is defintely part of the family. While I definitely feel different about him after we had children, I still love him with all my heart. I say all that first so that you understand my sadness. There is definitely something wrong with Willis. He started having these spells about 2 weeks ago, the vet says that they are seizures. Other than that, he still seemed fine, he was eating and playing and all the normal things that a dog does. Just every now and then he would flip out. Last night however, we really thought that we had lost him. He was lethargic and unresponsive and he wouldn't move at all. My husband carried him in the house and he just laid on the floor. We even rang the door bell to see if he would bark, because he usually does, and all he did was lift his head.
When we woke up this morning Patrick took him to the vet and they did a $500 blood test!!! I think Vets are full of crap, but that will be another post entirely. So we have to wait for the results of the blood test to see what the problem is. He has moved a little today, but not much. And he is not eating. Which for a beagle is strange, if you have ever seen Willis you would see that he has not missed too many meals.
This dedicated to by beagle boy Willis, we love you buddy!!

Aww. Poor doggie. I hope he's okay. Do you think he got stung by a scorpion? I'm on high alert with those boogers these days (found another one today) so that is why I ask.

Hugs,
