I learning!!
Last night, we were all asleeeeeep.
Everybody.
Dad was asleep (he is very owie, but he has medicine so he was not so owie).
Pa was sleeping.
Even the kitties were sleeping.
It was very late.
Then... I SMELLED something.
It was something BAD.
It was PA!!
GEN-CY!!
He was sweating... and he was giving off that same kind of smell DAD had been giving off earlier. He was shivering, too, even tho it was very warm...
I started to make a FUSS.
Wake up, Pa!! Wake up!!
Something is wrong!!
Pa started to get up, he thought it must be morning and I needed to go out, but I was NOT doing the potty dance. I stopped... and I STARED at him.
I pointed my nose, and made a soft, urgent noise.
He was up on all fours, about to get out of bed, and he gave a heave-shiver-moan...
I BARKED!! PA!! Don't fall asleep again!! It are an EMER-GEN-CY!!!
Pa said, "Oh God... Kidney Stone..." and he ran for the Bafroom.
I laid down, and watched through the bedroom and bathroom doors, and i kept my EYE on him!!
He took medicine, and he sweated and he was sick... and the WHOLE TIME I followed him with my eyes. I WATCHED.
Then the medicine started to help. He said, "Okay... I think I can sleep now, and see if it will move before morning..."
I laid down close to the wire.
It's okay to pet my ears, Pa. I am here for you too. I know you were hurting.
Then I was sure everything was okay again, so I laid down on my side, and we all went back to sleep.
It took THREE HOURS... but I was on the job.
I gots a job now, you know. I am very proud I was helpful. I gets lots of praise for it... I think I could learn to like this place in our pack!
