I came home from work sick today. I hate doing that, I always feel like my boss and coworkers think I am faking. I wasn't today, but felt OK by this afternoon. I really think it was because I was so hungry all weekend that I over compensated Sunday night when we ordered Papa Murphy's. My tummy just couldn't take it. Oh well, everything is fine now.
Because I was feeling better CJ suggested we go for a short walk this afternoon. I jumped at the chance to get out of the house and get our dogs the much needed walk we talk about so much. It started out OK, but I remember commenting about three streets away from our house how hot it was. Well the walk went on much longer than planned, and by the end our little pug Madison would not walk anymore. Pugs do not fair well in hot weather, the vet warns us about that every time we go in. Of course we walked her for too long and it was too hot outside. We were probably a 1/4 mile from our house and I had to start carrying her. It was so scary, she was whining and panting at the same time. I flipped her over and was carrying her like a baby and she put her very hot and wet paw around my neck. I really started to panic then, she really looked and sounded like she was in trouble. CJ hurried as fast as he could with our other exhausted dog Taylor back to the house. When we finally got inside Madi wouldn't drink and she was having a hard time standing up. CJ finally decided to put her in the tub. She actually laid down in the water to cool herself off. I was crying and laughing at the same time. I was scared, but good lord she looked so stinkin cute laying in a bathtub full of water. She stayed in there for probably ten minutes and she seemed OK for the rest of the night. We laid both dogs in front of a fan after their dinner and that seemed to help. Pretty scary but everyone is fine now.
