November 1st turned out to be even scarier than Halloween. We spent half the night before up with our very sick dog. They don't get a lot of blog space but our dogs Kayle and Lil keep life very interesting. At almost 10 years old they are more like little old ladies instead of energetic little puppies. We rushed Kayle to the vet that Monday morning to find out there was a brillo pad in her stomach (We have no idea where she got it. I can't even remember the last time I used one of those) and her kidneys were failing. The doctor prepared us for the worst and all day while Vince was at school Matt and I agonized over what to tell a little boy whose dog is probably dying. We cried and worried all day but in usual Vince fashion when we told him that Kayle was very sick, had to stay at the dog hospital and we didn't know if she would ever come home he just said, "O.K. It's going to be O.K." And like that the conversation was over.
Over the next three days slowly but surely Kayle got better and her kidneys started functioning again. Her liver has some permanent damage, but that's not a huge deal according to the vet. Wednesday the 3rd we finally got to bring Kayle home. We're all back where we belong two exhausted parents, two darling children and two spunky little dogs... hmmm it's starting to remind me of Noah's Arc around here everything in twos!!All Our Love,
