Long weekend

I am very tired right now, so I will make this a quick post and I will post more later when I have more energy.

Saturday we went to the ex-in-laws christmas party. it was fun and everyone got something that they love. Then we came home and were locked out of the house, ( tell more later) , had Da climbed through and window and let us in then we had to rush to a birthday party for my neighbor's girl who is two days older than my son. that was fun, they all spoke in Russian. they know English, but speak Russian when they are all around each other b/c why change for me. you know? but I did have a few translate for me and I do know a few words and phrases to know the subject of what they are talking about. But I still felt like a fish out of water. Then Sunday we had Da's birthday party. And every one from he ex-in laws came. I think it is the best birthday party that Da has ever had knowing that his b-day is so close to x-mas. we canceled our plans of going ice skating afterwards b/c it was just too cold. But we came home to Chewy being very lethargic and not wanting to come out from under my bed. I was so afraid that we were going to lose him. I did not sleep at all last night b/c I checked on him every hour and prayed to god not to take him, not now. He is so young and it is Christmas. Please spare us the heart ache and help him get well. and apparently he heard my prayers b/c this morning he woke up with alot more energy and is more alert than he was last night with enough energy to bark and chase a neighborhood cat outside. He is still not out of the woods though. He is refusing to eat anything. I really don't know what to do. I really cannot afford to take him to the emergency vet. and our regular vet is a mobile vet and does not have an office or do house calls. Can dogs get the flu? is this just a bug that he caught? My husband was looking on the Internet and said that his symptoms point to distemper, but he has had all his shots for that. can he still get it even though he has had all his shots? Wouldn't the other animals get sick too?


If anyone knows what I can do to get him to eat, please let me know. and please pray for my puppy!
