My puppy is sick. On and off throughout the night I'd get busy and forget, then remember and feel ill and just WANT TO GET HOME. I can't wait until 7am when it's early enough to call and see how he did through the night. He has the saddest little choking cough whenever he barks or gets overexcited. I really hope it's just a throat and ear infection, but apparently he was so bad yesterday morning he would scream if you touched his head or hugged him. And, god, he's such a stubborn little ball of fur! Late afternoon he insists on sitting right by the cold door on the cold floor even though his warm bed is RIGHT THERE. He little nose gets so frozen I have to force him under a blanket with me and crank the heat, but he's a little bit INTENSE about my mom, and nothing but right in front of the door will do. Sometimes it's really frustrating to not be able to sit the little dude down and RATIONALIZE WITH HIM.

He's just this small, hilarious, ridiculous creature and I'm really terrified of losing him.

I don't know, just needed to say that to someone somehwere.
