Hershey's Road to Recovery


One day Tera and my mom noticed Hershey was shaking real bad and acting strange. This same day I decided to sleep in till 10 and not notice that Hershey was missing all day (he was laying in the grass shaking in his own pile of slobber). I'm the worst! When Tera came home (8 hours later) she asked me how Hershey was doing, and thats when I saw him. Hershy was just shaking and would not even take a treat. SOMETHING was wrong! In the past he has had seizures, so we all thought he had a bad one and was not recovering. AND, since the vet is so dang expensive and we were thinking the worst, we let him lay on the couch inside for a few days while he recovers.
PLAN B...he did not recover so my mom took him to the vet. The vet says that the xray shows a "narrowing in the spine"...yeah whetever that means. Hershy broke his neck or something and was shaking in pain for 3 days!
Against my dads will, we have placed a recovery bed in the TV room on the couch. My dad thinks Hershy is "milking it." haha. he is funny. But, the good news is that after pain meds and other meds Hershey is almost acting like his normal self. I am so happy he is better, although it was kind of nice to have him laying with me all day in this TV room. good company.


Oh the cutest part about all this is that Shorty was in heaven! She would play with him, he would not run away. She would cuddle him, love him, and just soaked up every moment with her ex lover~

Oh AND tis almost the season to whip out this festive number for Shorty. she loves it!
