horror

last night was a complete horror for me. after spending a nice evening at the citizen sheriff's academy, i came home, ate dinner, and did a little computer face time before heading to bed. as i'm typing away on the computer, i happen to look down at one of my dogs and he looks kind of funny. so, i get up to check on him and he was pretty much going into a seizure. his body was all stiff, he couldn't stand on his legs, he wasn't breathing for a few seconds, and his eyes had this panicked look. i about DIED! john and i picked him up and headed to the emergency vet. fortunately, the seizure did not last long and he was somewhat recovered by the time we started driving, but he just look so confused and scared. i have never felt so scared and helpless before. thankfully, he checked out ok with the ER vet, but now i have to take him to his regular vet to start the lovely testing process to find out what caused the seizure. i just cannot adequately explain how horrible it was seeing my precious baby in such a state and not being able to do anything about it. we have been so fortunate to have healthy dogs, so this completely caught me off guard.
