My dog had Cancer; June 23, 1989

I woke up at seven thirty, Alex and I had breakfast then I gave Kelly his medicine and had a shower. I phoned the vet but Dr. H is off until Monday. I left a message for Dr. R. We went to Coquitlam Centre at nine thirty but it doesn’t open until ten o’clock. We sat down until the stores opened in the mall. After Alex looked in the toy store we went and bought Charlie a couple of t-shirts for his birthday. Then we bought Alex’s hospital prize. Alex wanted micro masters, the patrol set and a Ghostbusters puzzle. We got home at twelve thirty, after lunch Alex phoned Patrick. Patrick said he didn’t want to play right now. Alex was upset about that, he said what am I going to do now. I said I don’t know. Then later I suggest he phone Mitch and see if he wanted to come over. Alex wasn’t too sure about that at first but later decided to phone anyways. Mitch said he would be over soon. Dr. R had phoned while we were out. I phoned him back and was able to talk to him. I explained to him what happened last night and I wanted to know if it was normal. Dr. R said it was quite normal, that it must be very frightening for him and he’s probably trying to get away from the seizure. He said once they have a seizure they don’t know they’re having it. Dr. R said this information is based on people having seizures. He asked if Kelly was still throwing up. I said no he seems to be okay. Dr. R said to keep his medicine the same. I wrote in the journal most of the afternoon. Charlie came home at four o’clock. Charlie was going to open his present when he got home but we wouldn’t let him. We went to Mom and Dad’s for dinner. Mom made a black forest cake for dessert, it sure looked good. Alex said I couldn’t have any unless it was on my list! To say the least I didn’t have any. Charlie opened his presents, Mom and Dad gave Charlie two t-shirts, Alex and I gave him two t-shirts. We came home at ten o’clock. Charlie was very tired he had been up at four o’clock. He said he couldn’t sleep. Alex had a snack then he got ready for bed. I went to bed at eleven o’clock.
