Our Henry Scare

My Henry. My sweet Henry. 

I will try to keep this as non-graphic as possible. 

Yesterday morning around 9:45, Henry made an odd wheezing sound. He did it once and went back to sleep. Didn't think anything of it. 

I go and ride and made a target run, and come back to Henry making the wheezing again, this time much harder and louder. Cue the freak out. 

From the time I got home and finished my shower after my ride, he had thrown up 6 times. I could not get ready fast enough, called Matt at work (who of course is slammed and can't leave for another 2 hours) as I am racing with Henry to the emergency vet. Wheezing + vomit = no good. 

Matt met us there as soon as he got off (by then I had been there for almost 2 hours waiting for the doctor). It took a while for the vet to figure out what was wrong, and realized that he had gotten a case of kennel cough (I had him vaccinated for this but apparently it isn't always 100% effective) and it was now causing him stress. Poor guy. 

4 hours later, 2 medicines and an RX for a third and we headed home. 

Today he is doing great and more "himself". We had a few wheezing episodes but nothing to the extent of yesterday thank goodness. 

Love that sweet face. 

Man, I love my animals very much. I'm so glad he's ok. Definitely a "low" of this weekend but as long as he's ok that's all that matters. 

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me! I hope 26 is a good year. 25 flew by fast. We were accepted on our house a few days before my birthday last year. Age 25 we closed, renovated the kitchen, did other upgrades....it flew by very fast. 

I have a lot of personal bucket list items I want to check off that I feel like I didn't get to do yet. So here's to another year!

My 4th of July in photos

Happy 4th of July! I am loving having this Thursday off work!

Sadly it rained. Pretty much all day. And Matt works on 4th of July (a normal workday for him). 

(Henry was not amused by this rain). 

My 4th of July consisted of:

Riding first thing in the morning so I would avoid the rain (which I did but not by much!). The rain all week has prevented me from riding.

(Lots of rain!)

After, I went home and caught up on some magazines. 

Then I made some yummy jalapeño popper Mac and cheese with the jalapeños Matt grew (recipe to come!)

Then it was movie time. I had DVRed some movies during the workweek and I am glad I had some time to watch  I watched most of Because I Said So (it wasn't very good) and He's Just Not That Into You (Classic. Love this movie!). 

After I painted a second coat on the back of our front door. I didn't get a before photo, but it was a dingy ivory color. I did a coat of white on Sunday, and today was the second coat. 

On a painting spree, I have the door that goes from the house to the garage a coat of white and will do a second coat this weekend. The top half shows the white and the bottom half shows the before color. 

Finally Matt got home and it wasn't raining (but wet) so we went on our walk as we try to do every night :)

In my opinion, some of the best days off work are the most enjoyable doing nothing and getting house stuff done :)

Now bring on Friday!

Love your comments :)
