My dog had Cancer; November 1, 1989

Samantha had a one thirty and five thirty feeding. Then she had an eight o’clock feeding. I gave her a bath before her noon feeding. In between that, I had a shower, got dressed and had my breakfast. I also did the laundry and emptied the garbage. I took Alex to school, Mom watched Samantha while I was gone. I rested until it was time to get Alex. I fed Samantha at three thirty. We ate dinner at five o’clock. Alex, Charlie and I went out while Mom and Dad watched Samantha. We went to Canada Trust, I needed to sign the T-Bill account. Then we went to London Drugs and came home. When we got to the driveway Dad was waiting for us, he looked very upset . My heart dropped when I saw him. Then Mom came out too. They said Kelly was having seizures and they couldn’t get them to stop. Mom figured Kelly had about seven seizures by the time we got home. I phoned the Port Coquitlam Animal Hospital. I was told all the doctors had gone home. They finally gave me an emergency number which was for Eagle Ridge Animal Hospital. I phoned Dr. Hi at home and told him the problem I was having. Dr. Hi said he would meet us there. Charlie put Kelly into Dad’s station wagon. Charlie, Dad and I took Kelly to the vets. Kelly had two more seizures in the car. Dr. Hi said he would started working on Kelly right away and he would phone us tomorrow morning. Not long after we got home the vet phoned he said Kelly had a temperature of 106F and they had been able to get him stabilized. He said he would phone again tomorrow. It sure is an awful feeling when Kelly has seizures like that. It’s bad enough when he has one let alone continually. Dad kept asking me if I was alright. I stayed upstairs for quite awhile. Alex went to bed at eight o’clock. After Samantha’s nine thirty feeding I went to bed.
