More fur baby drama
Morning! How about some raw donut holes with that cup of coffee or tea? 😉
Sadly, those aren’t for me but are un-cooking away for a client 🙂
This morning, I woke up bright and early for a weights sesh with Jeni and Ashley. We did an hour of core – all abs and back. It was pretty intense but a lot of fun because we chat a lot 🙂
Before leaving the casa, I had a classic bfast cookie:
-1/2 C multigrain oats
-1/s scoop vanilla Sun Warrior
-cinnamon
-nutmeg
-vanilla
-1 T almond butter
-1 small smashed banana
-almond milk
-raisins
And a shot of Emergen-C:
A side of monkey dogs:
So as you guys know, I’ve had my fair share of dog drama in my life- remember when Viesa tried to eat Bella?
Well last night, I was training a client and started to feel like death. I got really anxious, my heart started palpitating like a mofo and I got really dizzy. I finished my appointment, but texted my next client to say I wasn’t feeling well and re-schedule so I could come home and chill for a second before the wives’ meeting. The original plan was to change at work and head straight to the wives’ meeting from there. So instead, I changed my schedule and came home, feeling pretty miserable.
Then Viesa had a seizure and got sick.
It was no joke one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen- I’m still pretty shaken up about it. The mind-boggling thing is that I wasn’t supposed to be here when it happened- I was supposed to still be at work. Isn’t it crazy how stuff like that happens?? Thank goodness I was home.
My friend Jeni raced over here when I called her crying –she lives in the neighborhood next to ours- and I spoke with one of the wives who is a vet. The vet said to keep an eye on her, comfort her, but that chances are that it wouldn’t happen again anytime soon, especially since it’s never happened before. The fact that Vies got sick worried her, so we’re taking Viesa to get checked out right now.
I was debating on whether or not I should blog about this –as this bloggy is supposed to pump everyone up, not bring them down!- but alas, it’s also a blog about my life… and that’s what’s going on right now.
I’ll see ya later this afternoon and will be back to my normal pink and peppy self 🙂
xoxo,
Gina

Oh no! I hope your furbaby is feeling all better really soon!
((hugs))
Awww, I hope Viesa is alright!!! Keep us posted!
I hope she is ok! My doggy had a seizure too once, and it was terribly scary. She ended up being ok, tho. I think you should blog about it – we are here to support you and this certainly doesn’t bring anyone down!
Awwww Gina!!! I am so, so sorry about your fur baby! I would be terribly shaken up, too. Thank you for sharing this so we can all send some positive vibes to your baby!!
Oh my gosh, that’s so scary. I hope all is well and she gets better soon.
So sorry to read about your baby being sick. It is really interesting that you came home after feeling a little wonky, just in time for it to happen. I want to say thank you for blogging about this topic. I know the blog is supposed to, as you said, pump us up, but I also think having it be realistic is good too. Sure, it’s not the usual cheery post, but I think hearing about overcoming the negative is good. I wish you and your fur baby luck in getting well.
thank you, susan <3
Oh no!! I hope Viesa gets better soon!!
oh my gosh, that’s so scary! poor baby girl…i’d totally freak out if that happened to one of my fur babies! stay strong and take care of her and yourself 🙂
Oh how scary!! Thank goodness you came home early. Gosh I hate when there’s anything wrong with the pup 🙁
Life isn’t always perfect and happy – you are human too! I hope that Viesa visit with the vet goes fine. I know how worried you must feel.
I believe that everything happens for a reson, and you were meant to go home last night.
I hope Viesa gets better soon! (I think your blog is great by the way).
I am SO sorry to hear that! I’m a nervous wreck when my Yorkie doesn’s look well. It’s crazy how strong a woman’s intuition is! I’m glad that you were home to be with her and I know that you and the Pilot mean everything to her. Stay strong and hopefully this doesn’t happen again!
Poor Viesa!! That’s crazy that you ended up being home!!! I hope she’s feeling better!!
Your poor baby! My fur baby had parvovirus when we first rescued him and he had a 20% chance of survival. He made it! Fur babies are very strong, especially b/c they have strong mommies by their side 😉
I hope you and she are feeling better soon!
Oh no! 🙁 Saying prayers for Viesa!
Hope Viesa is ok, Gina! I know how much you love your pups, and as a dog owner myself, I know how awful it is to see them sick. 🙁 Thank God your intuition told you to go home!
that is really scary – I remember a time when my dog (black lab – german shepherd – chow chow – wolf mix) were about to walk in the park, and she was sitting by our car in the parking lot. All of the sudden, a car whipped into the parking spot and ran over her foot, and I just heard her let out this awful yelp. There are no words for the panic that goes through you.
I’m sure everything will work out – good luck!
I am so sorry you had to experience that with your puppy. My dog has had seizures on and off her whole life. The strange thing is hers are from anxiety. Every time we have to take her to the vet, as soon as she walks in, she has one. It is a very scary thing to see. I hope you have a better day today and my thoughts are with you and your pup.
That is horrible. So sorry to hear about Viesa. When i had my dog (many years ago) she had a stroke one morning and it was one of the scariest things that i have ever seen. she ended up being okay and living for many years after it though. the one effect that the stroke did have is that her balance was thrown off a bit so she would have trouble on things like stairs (not just a couple but if it was a long flight of stairs). Good thing we lived in a ranch house! Hope everyone is doing better today.
I’m so sorry Gina. I’m glad you were there for her. It happened to one of my childhood dogs, so I know how rough that is. I hope she and you are feeling better!
Poor Viesa! I hope that doesn’t happen again. That’s one thing I hate when our pups are sick – they can’t tell you what’s wrong! A long while ago we had to give our dogs deworming pills and our one girl was up all night throwing up. I sat with her in the bathroom and she’d just give me this look, like “What’s wrong with me?” and I didn’t know what to do!
Fingers crossed that she’ll feel better soon!

Aawwww sorry about doggie troubles. I’m glad the vet said that she’s going to be okay! 🙂 You’re such a good mommy!
Hi Gina – my old doggie had a couple of seizures (he is long passed) and it is definitely scary. Your vet friend is right, just comfort her and keep her calm. Sending hugs to you and pets to Viesa!!
Oh Gina, I’m so sorry you had to go through that! I can’t imagine how upsetting that must have been to see. What a blessing that you were home.
Oh no!!!! Dog scares are the worst– my dogs are like my children. Your pooch is in my thoughts and prayers 🙁
I’m so sorry about Viesa! Hopefully everything is alright and she’ll be feeling better soon. At least she has such wonderful dog parents to take good care of her!
im so sorry Gina! i think thats pretty amazing that you ended up at home when that happened, i truly believe everything happens for a reason. i hope you and Viesa both feel better!
p.s. don’t ever apologize for not being mrs. sunshine all the time, this is your blog and we love ya no matter what! we all have our good days and bad ones, dont ever apoligize =)
Oh no! I am so glad you were home to take care of Viesa! I hope nothing is seriously wrong and she gets better soon! And please don’t feel bad about sharing things like this…we’re here to support you no matter what and you don’t have to worry about making every post super positive because this is life! Ups and downs!
Oh no, poor baby! It is so stressful when a pet is sick. Hoping everything works out okay 🙂
Oh no! Horrible! I hope Viesa is okay, and you too! 🙂
I completely understand your worries. The Brat has seizures now and then and it’s terrifying. I’ve never felt so helpless in my entire life. I hope the vet gives your fur baby a clean bill of health!
I’m so sorry, hope she feels better soon!
thank you for sharing, sometimes there are more important things than just happy news. so glad you were able to be there for your baby
I’m so sorry this happened. Don’t worry about not being your normal cheery self. The important thing is that you are being yourself and describing your life.
Oh my gosh! I am actually right there with you because my cat had a seizure last night, which has never happened before. He’s at the vet right now. 🙁
I’m adding Viesa to my “no more seizure” prayers! I hope she’s just fine!
You should always let us now about your life; never feel like you need to hide things from your bloggies. We are here to support you, and I hope everything works out okay. It’s good to know you’re still at it and blogging 😀
I’m so sorry, that’s awful! My dog used to have periodic seizures, and they are awful to watch. I’m sure Viesa was glad that you were there to comfort her, she was probably really scared 🙁
Don’t worry about a blog post that’s not super-cheery. Life happens, good and bad. We appreciate that you share with us! I hope V comes out of the vet’s office with flying colors, and is back to her sassy self in no time.
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry! Watching an animal have a seizure is one of the worst/scariest things I have ever seen. I hope your Viesa feels better soon. 🙂
It’s such fate that you were home when it happened! That must be have so scary, but I am sure you brought a lot of comfort to Viesa. Hope today is a better day.
I am so glad you were home when that happened. I hope you pup is feeling better soon!
Feel better soon Viesa!! I have had my share of furbaby health scares too, and I know how terrible they can be!! Hang in there and I know she’ll be ok.
So sorry to hear about Viesa. They say women have pretty crazy natural instincts, and this is just proof in the pudding (vegan pudding, of course!). I hope everything turns out OK!
Gina Im so sorry : ( I hope Viesa is ok, my moms took seizures, and I know how scary that is to see, Im so sorry and hope your pup gets better asap xoxo
Hi Gina,
I’m so sorry to hear about Viesa… Seizure’s are so scary to watch, and you feel so helpless. My last dog suffered from seizures for all his life. If you want or need any more information about seizures feel free to send me an email. I used to work at a vet clinic, and have several family members who are veterinarians, and because I had an epileptic dog, I have information about seizures coming out my ears.
Thinking about you… and Viesa.
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear about Viesa! So, so lucky you happened to be home – someone is definitely watching over you. Hope things calm down and everything turns out alright.
My golden got ill this morning – it’s not a good dog health day apparently!
My in-laws’ golden used to get seizures. I only saw it happen one time, but I had to leave the room b/c I was so shaken up by it. I started crying and it took me awhile to calm down. I understand what you were going through!
Oh Gosh! I would have been freaking out too. Hope it does not end up being anything serious.
Aw, I hope Viesa is alright!! My doggie has seizure-like episodes sometimes (he’s very old though), and I know how scary it is to witness.
I am so sorry this happened to you. It had to have been scary dealing with that sort of thing. I hope that beautiful Viesa is okay though!!
Sending positives vibes over your way. xoxo
Hey Gina- sorry to hear those doughnut wholes arent for you!
They look go good! Happy Hump Day!
