Aww Carrie--HUG received and it felt great! Thanks sooo much. Mugsy suffered through most of the day, but by dinnertime he was happy to have some boiled chicken and rice. I have been rationing his water intake so we don't have anymore episodes. Ever since he was itty-bitty, he has been a drinker, so I never wanted to deprive him of water that he seemed to be needing. He is going to learn about moderation for a while.
His breathing is nice and slow now and he has been out for his last pee and poo. All systems seem to be functioning fine, although he is still drained from last night (who here isn't?). I think I will be comfortable with leaving him to go to work tomorrow. I was really freaked about leaving him in that condition. Even when circumstances were normal, I had frequent anxiety episodes when leaving the boys to go to work. My husband finds it crazy that I check plugs, the gas stove, the bottom of the dryer and the area surrounding the furnace more than once before leaving. I should probably be on some kind of drug for that! I used to be able to take the boys to my mother's house whenever I felt they needed supervision, but Mugsy can't deal with her hardwood floors and her new dogs climb the fence--something I do not want Shadow to learn about! Anyhow, we are hoping to have a peaceful night with some good REM sleep.
As for the wagon...it's so special, like a missing piece of our puzzle restored. Mugsy has been out in it twice and is pretty content to ride. Sometimes he seems like he would like to get out to explore, which I think I will let him try on a warmer day. As soon as I can, I am going to take a pic of it to post for all to see.
Have a great week everyone, and as always, thanks for your kind words, vibes, hugs and prayers. Honestly, I would be a looney without all of you!
Allison
