Our High Maintenance Puppy

So, our precious new little girl has become quite the Drama Queen.
 We have had two visits to the Vet in three days. She has decided that she is watching her girlish figure and she will NOT eat! So on visit number two, after finding her severely lethargic, she couldn't even stand up, we had to leave her with the vet
 for the day. (I was so SAD to leave her there....we weren't really sure that she was going to live honestly) She was super dehydrated and her glucose levels were dangerously low, so to get her better they gave her fluids through an i.v. They left in when we brought her home-just in case we had to go back. It was the most pitiful thing ever. She couldn't walk (actually, she wouldn't walk on it) at first, so to watch her stumble around on those three teeny tiney little legs was just sad. We now also get to literally force feed her sugar water, baby food, dog food, antibiotic, and a bunch of other business that she doesn't like. So, we are preparing for the new baby, while practicing on our puppy. Who knew?

Miss Zoey is definitely NOT a drama queen~ the poor thing has been traumatized...tell her that her aunt jac loves her big time!
