SPOILER ALERT: My picture of Jersey is actually relevant to the events that occurred today!  Surprise, surprise!  I woke up at 10 this morning because I decided that I should sleep a lot after the excitement of yesterday!  When I woke up, my leggies were super sore from yesterday!!  It is redic!  I cannot go up and down stairs at the moment.  After establishing that, I did some stuff and then Kelley took Jersey outside and then she almost died.  Since our garage sale, she has been having breathing attacks where she can't breathe and she keeps inhaling and she sounds like a pig but it's really scary and she is really scared.  We rub her neck and then eventually the attack stops and it's all good.  It has happened on and off since she was a puppy but since the garage sale, it started happening multiple times a day and usually when she's excited or after she goes outside.  Starting last night, she started to also have sneezing attacks where she repeatedly sneezes and have her breathing attack so that she isn't able to catch her breath in between the sneezes.  When Kelley took her out this morning, she had another sneezing fit and her tongue started to go blue so we called Mom and decided it was time to take her in to the vet.  Of course, since Jersey is a loser face, she was perfectly fine at the vet which was the longest she had gone without having an attack in a couple days.  We also ran into Abbey at the vet which was really strange because I haven't seen her in over a year and she lives in a different town.  She said the vet in the town I live is the best so that's why she goes there.  After the vet looked at the pup, she said her ears, heart, and lungs were all good and she gave her a shot of benadryl in her bum.  This picture was taken when we were waiting for the vet.  I was trying to keep her from jumping off the table and she decided to peek underneath my arm so Kelley took a picture.  We also got a bottle of pills to give her because we are narrowing it down to see if she has developed allergies or if she has a breathing problem because of her squished face.  If the pills don't work, we have to take her to a specialist who will sedate her and then look up her nose with a scope...ew.  So far, the medicine is doing great!! Hooray for drugs!
When we got home, we all ate lunch and then Mom and Kelley left for work.  I ended up being productive today and doing my online class for Iowa and then putting my laundry away!  I'm glad I finally got those two things off my chest!  Then we ate dinner and watched a little bit of the Olympics while I took my post-test for my class.  It was a sexual harassment class thing and I had to watch 14 videos today which were really long and slightly boring.  But now I'm done!!  Yay!  Now Kelley and I are going to read and go to bed because tomorrow we have to get up early to go apartment/dorm shopping!!!
