A Very Ruff Week
We’ve had a rough week. On Monday evening, I came home to a sick Maisey who wouldn’t stop throwing up. After I realized she was trying, but couldn’t go #2, I got scared something more serious might be going on. So 10:30 at night we rushed to the emergency room.
I cried as I rushed into the emergency room, I’d convinced myself something was seriously wrong. After I told the technician her symptoms, their reaction did little to calm my fears. She was rushed into the back and I was left standing there, worried sick.
After $400 of care, it turns out everything is OK. The technician was even surprised she was going to be going home that same night. I left the emergency room armed with antibiotics, anti nausua medication and instructions for a strict 3-5 day diet.
I have no idea why this pup has such a sensitive stomach. Perhaps during her homeless stint on the streets she was eating things not ideal for a sensitive chihuahua tummy. Perhaps her previous owner didn’t feed her well, I don’t know.
I do know that our frightening Monday night reminded me just how much she brings to my life, sensitive tummy or not. I can’t imagine my life without her.
So I’ve spent the rest of this week keeping her comfortable, hiding pills in cheese, watching her detect the undesirable taste and managing to spit it out and still get all the cheese, and mixing up a tummy coating medication and injecting it into her mouth (much to her distaste).
But I’m her mom, so this is my job. It may seem thankless, but that’s what being a mom is all about, right?

Oh Im glad shes ok! And its definitely not thankless. She appreciates you making her feel better, even if she doesnt realize it. Im sure that in another life when she has the capacity for speech (or you can understand barks) she will say thank you.
