Last week we had a pup-mergency, which was, thankfully resolved over the weekend. We had to take our Yellow Beans to the vet for an extended visit ;_;. Apparently he has/had a mysterious liver problem which causes the fluid in his veins to seep out into his body! It even caused some pneumonia. He was swollen and puffy and coughing for almost two weeks. At first it seemed like an allergy, but it was too serious to be an allergy. It was really awful.

And leaving him at the vet was scary and heartbreaking. I hate leaving my babies there. They just have no idea why they’re there or when you’re coming back, you know? We went to visit him while he was there, and even though he had a doggy IV he was happy to see us and he seemed to not be scared. We just snorgled him for a couple of hours till he passed out on the floor from snorgle-overload.

I was starting to get really freaked out that we couldn’t bring him home. But finally the vet called and told us we could bring him home. He seems to be totally normal now. The swelling is gone but we have to give him special powder in his water, and feed him salted food- a small price to pay for a healthy dog! We’re still waiting on some test results, but I’m really happy to see him not swollen for the first time in weeks! And he is just over the moon happy to be back with his buddies and sleep in his Yellow-nest and get lovins whenever he wants!

And now, an ode to Yellow!

There he is while we were painting our room- very stoic. He almost blends into the wall! This is the typical Yellow Dog pose- leaning back, trying to show off his manliness.

And here his His Muttliness posing to have his silhouette taken for the famous Silhouette Wallpaper (he’s the one under the mirror). Look at that scruffy mug! I just WUFFFF him!!! We are SO happy he’s home!
