Dewey Survived the Big Bad Shot

I personally want to thank everyone for all of the concern shown over Dewey’s recent illness. He was one sick little boy. He had an allergic reaction to the rabies vaccine…by the evening after the shot he was feverish, shaking, lethargic and just plain out of it.

My poor little Dew Baby…..as a Mother, I was extremely worried. And I was pretty much helpless…I know that I should have called Nurse Lacie, but I got my Mom to take over his care instead. She’s pretty good about taking control of a bad situation.
I surely thought Dewey was ready to take his last breath…he barely could lift his head out of his bed.

He was dreaming of the doggie angels coming for him.

And he saw visions of steak bones, beef cubes, chicken strips and liver dancing in head. I think he was delirious for sure.

Steak bones with steak attached....

beef cubes....Yum, Yum.... Chicken strips, soooooo gooood....

Delicious Liver swimming in his head.....

Toby tried his best to comfort Dewey.

But on Monday, after calling the vet, Mom started giving him Benadryl and he began to improve. He got out of his bed and walked around on his own. He kept his eyes open and smiled for the first time in two days.

He ate his dinner and drank water and today he went for his usual long walk….. I think we have the old Dewey back again. Wow what a relief..........cause we was worried........how about you????

We all went out into the yard. Wow, Look at that Dewey smile....... would ya?

And I am very thankful for that…..I am sure that the reason he is now well again is because all of you out in Blogland were thinking of him fondly and wishing him well.

So we have a true survivor here… Dewey will live for another day….he will continue to write his blog and he will continue to torment me by taking my ball away from me every chance he gets. Why couldn’t my Mom play ball with me when he was too sick to play?

Do you think maybe he needs any more shots??????
Thanks again everyone....Dewey is back.......
