My dog had Cancer; May 26, 1989

I woke up at eight thirty. I sure was tired. Alex had woken us up at five thirty. He said he couldn’t sleep anymore. I asked him if he wanted to watch tv. Alex said he didn’t know if there was anything on tv for him. I went to the living room with Alex and marked down all the shows for him to watch and got him his blanket. I went back to bed and woke up at eight thirty. I had breakfast, gave Kelly his medicine and had a shower. Alex said he was tired. I told him of course he was tired he didn’t get enough sleep and he needed to have a nap. Alex didn’t like that idea. I told him it would be better in the morning than the afternoon, because his friend might come over. Alex thought about it for awhile and decided to have a nap in the morning but he had to have a shower first. Alex had his nap at ten thirty. I wasn’t feeling that good and I couldn’t exercise since I figured it would probably wake up Alex. I did the dishes and made the beds. After lunch I wrote in the journal and Alex played. I put away Alex’s toys while he was watching tv, I hadn’t finished when Kelly had another seizure. The seizures seem to be getting worse, this time he moved his legs a lot like he was running. When Kelly was able to get up. I took him downstairs and gave Kelly a pill. Then I phoned the vet. Dr. H wasn’t there so I talked to Dr. C. She thought it would be better to do some tests first to make sure Kelly was okay before changing his medication. I made an appointment for tomorrow morning. Alex and I left to go to the bank and McDonald’s. I had phoned Mom earlier to ask her if they wanted anything. Mom said just fries since they had already taken steak out. When we came out the car wouldn’t start. I was really mad after all the repairs that had been done. We went back inside and ate our food. We went back to the car to try again before I phoned BCAA and it finally started. I had to give it a lot of gas before it would start. We went to Mom and Dad’s they must have wondered what took us so long. I explained that the car wouldn’t start but finally did start. Alex and Dad played video games, much to Mom’s disgust. She doesn’t like video games at all. We went home around nine o’clock. Alex had a snack and went to bed. I had my snack and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
