Sick Dogs

A couple of days ago Theo was , well, not well. Wasn't sure what was wrong but he wasn't hungry and constantly needed patting and a hug. That night he slept right next to me.  In the morning I found he'd pooed on a mat which is unusual for him. I though maybe he had constipation from me feeding him cheese (not too much). Then this morning after the the walk Bobby had no appitite and was shivering and shaking. I hadn't seen him do a poo either, on the walk (though he tried).

I had him rugged up and on my lap for a couple of hours. I was going to catch the 9:05am  bus to the Uni and attend the 3 minute Thesis presentation that was one this morning. Missed that. I read a graphic novel with two dogs cuddled up to me. Then when I went into the other room for something, I found Bobby asleep on a pet bed in the sun. He wasn't shaking so I took a gamble.

I had to go out for food shopping so left Bobby sunning himself on the front sofa. All the time I was shopping I was worried I'd get home and find him dead. I got home and he was asleep on a pet bed in the studio. Seemed much better and had an appetite. Then I took the dogs for a walk but they were both huffing and puffing by the middle of it. Had to carry Theo for a bit - it's a "warm day" for Winter and he has a thick coat. They drank a lot when we got home, after navigating through a back alleyway with a few sheep.

Gah, I worry so much about my pets.
