my poor baby

is not feeling well. it is the saddest thing ever. last night he got 4 shots... which will never happen again. what vet thinks a 13lb little puppy can handle 4 shots? in one night? psycho. all the vet told joey is that Max would be "very very tired".  well he was okay last night but this morning he was a different little dog. he wouldn't do ANYTHING. he wouldn't go for a walk. i had to force him to go outside. i had to carry him up and down the stairs.  when we came inside he wouldn't walk up the stairs, he just sat down there like a sad little dog until i came down there to carry him upstairs.  and he was a little swollen.

so being the puppy mom that i am- i called the vet and took him in. they gave him a cortisone shot, which seemed to help a little. but he is still sooo tired and sad, it's really pathetic.  and i feel horrible for him. he is my little baby and is clearly not feeling well at all. i was loosing it over this... when i was on the phone with the vet she could probably tell that i was on the verge of tears b/c at first she said his rxn was normal but then said to bring him in.  it cost an extra $40.00 today to get him the extra shot, but who cares?! it made me feel better and hopefully made him feel better.

with all that said it is amazing to me how much i care about this stinkin dog. i love him like my own baby. not that i have a baby or know what that will be like (i can only imagine million times more than this)... but i would pay any amount for him to be better... i know all those debates about how much you would spend on your pet, but really- i totally get it. especially when someone's pet IS like their kid.  i am rambling at this point. i need to get back to my sweetie.  i hope he is feeling better by this evening or i will take him back to the vet.

i think my point of this whole post. don't let the vet give your 13lb dog 4 shots in one day.  2 at most.
