Week with 3 Generations of My Family

This past week was fairly exciting in the fact that I got to hang out a lot of familiar faces.  One of mommy and daddy's friends who he works with came over on Saturday night to hang out.Another one came on Wednesday night for a few hours to hang out.  But mainly I was hanging out with my mommy, grandma, and great grandma for 5 days straight.  Daddy did his normal routine and went to work while the ladies and I just hung out around the house.  Overall, I was very tired and didn't do a whole lot during all these visits.  I think that first real chemo treatment really got to me.  Of course when each of the visitors arrived I was very excited to see them and i greeted them as I normally would.  And my grandma even brought me and Zoey new toys - how exciting!  During these past 5 days though, it was nice to catch up with my grandma and great-grandma.  We pretty much just hung out, relaxing around the house and watching TV.  My grandma spoiled me and Zoey with attention, and my great-grandma laughed at how funny we are.  My grandma took me outside quite a few times, so that was nice to hang out outside with someone new.
My great-aunt sent me a present!  Zoey stole it though...
Grandma brought us toys!!!!

Mommy and my great-grandma














Zoey, why do you sit so funny?
Today my grandma and great grandma went home.  This was also a particularly bad day for me.  I know I wasn't feeling quite like myself but today was worse.  I vomited several times throughout the day.  My mommy was super scared.  She called the vet several times.  I am sure they are probably like "woman, would you please stop calling us?"  I know she is only trying to help because she cares about me.  I hope they can see that too.  There is also this weight loss thing.  I have been eating pretty regularly (except for today), but I have gotten so skinny.  My mommy daddy always wanted me to lose just a little weight so I stayed healthy, but even I know this is a little much - you can see my ribs now when I roll over, and that is not the best look for me.  I have been very chilly due to not having as much fat on me.  I have also been very restless, which I think has less to do with being skinny and everything to do with my overall state of not feeling so great.  Or it could be this stupid cone I still have to wear (especially since my mommy caught me licking my IV site, which is supposed to stay covered.  Tomorrow I go back to the emergency vet for potentially my next chemo appointment.  I overheard my mommy on the phone with the vet and its possible I may not actually get it if I keep feeling this way.  I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.  I only hope that things get better for me because I do not like feeling like this.
