Harvey Survived!

Ok, I'm sitting here typing with one hand b/c for some reason the only time Burke is fussy is when I am on the computer. Adalyn is teaching him well on all the things that take attention away from them.
Anyways yesterday I took Adalyn out to play on her swingset and within 5 minutes Harvey starts throwing up and gaging. After watching him for a few minutes, he then starts vomiting blood and acting like he can't breathe. I'm sitting there watching thinking how do I give a dog CPR. I really thought he was going to die right in front of us. So I start calling people. My dad was in jackson and my mom at the movies. So then what. How I am going to lift a 70 lb dog into my truck? So withing a couple minutes I threw the kids in the car and drug him to the back. Loaded them up and drove as fast as I could to the vet.
At some point I got my mom and she and MiMi meet me at the vet. (Sorry yall missed the ending, I'll treat you to another movie). Jeff luckily had finished clinic and rushed over. Poor Harvey hadn't gotten any attention lately and had been begging to go to grandparent's houses. I guess he figured since that didn't work he'd get them to come to him. The vet wasn't sure what was wrong but watched him and drew labs. He seems fine today.
As soon as we walk out the vets Adalyn pees all over herself. In the chaos I forget she was in panties the whole time and didn't ask her to go potty. Opps. She handled it well as was excited that she got to ride home naked. Hopefully she won't be too traumatized from seeing Harvey sick. She obesses over that dog! I am impressed that we did get out of the house all dressed and to the vet in less than 5 minutes. It's amazing what you can do when you have too? Usually it takes us two hours to get out of the house!
