Happy New Year!!!!

I'm using LJ because some of my friends are on here. I have a journal on greatest journal to, its the same name.

My weekend got even worse yesterday. On New years Eve. I was doing the dishes and my mom was cleaning up the house yesterday morning getting ready for the New Years party last night. My dad came running inside and put his hand under the sink really fast. I thought he might've cut himself, but he was freaking out about it and I thought that was kinda weird because whenever he gets hurt he doesn't freak out like that. Then he said in a really scared voice "I ran over Meeko". For those of you who are retarded Meeko's my dog. He's a Lhasa Apsos, a small dog, probably as tall as a little bit below my knee. I didn't know what to think. The only thing that went through my head was 'My dog's dead'. So I put on my shoes and ran outside. And theres my meeko sitting there, looking so incredibly scared and hopeless, his legs were kinda spread out so you could tell there was something wrong with them. I didn't want to get to close to him because I was afraid he was going to bite me like he bit my dad. So I started saying his name a couple times. And he tried crawling towards me, but couldn't. So I walked over to him and started to pet him and told him that everything was going to be ok. Thats when I lost it and started to cry. I knew my baby wasn't going to make it. My mom came running out with my dad and we put him in the back of the car. We rushed him to the vet. My brother and I were crying the whole time they were giving Meeko x-rays and medicines. The vet then brought us in the exam room and told us that Meeko was in shock and thats why he was breathing so hard. She showed us the x-rays and I was so scared because I had a feeling his hips were crushed and we would have to put him down. Turns out that one of his lungs was leaking fluids and bleeding. Nothing was broken except for the part of his tail that connects to his backbone. The payments for just his medications, the x-rays and having to keep him at the vet over night were $700 all together. The vet said if we wanted to give Meeko surgery then it would cost another $2000 to $4000. We don't have that kind of money to spend on my dog. So we decided to see if his tail will heal on its own. The only problem is, if we don't give my dog surgery, theres a 50% chance he won't be able to control when he has to go to the bathroom. My parents were deciding if we should put him down or if we should give him a try. Thats when my brother just started bawling. And I cried a lot more to. We decided that we're going to give him a chance. We got to see him one last time before we had to leave. We all pet him and talked to him. And when we started to walk away back into the exam room, you could hear him cry, like he was trying with all his breath to cry and tell us to come back. So we went to see him again, then left. Around 5:30 before everyone started coming over, Me, my mom and my brother all went to go see my dog once more for the night. He got better, his lungs stopped bleeding, and his blood pressure was normal. You could tell he was happy to see us, and he tried to keep his head up because he was so druged up he was getting drowsy. So we said our hellos and goodbyes and wished him a happy new year. I cried again, whenever I looked at him, the tears would build back up. Even though I knew he was getting better and no matter how many times I told myself that, I still cried. It was just so said to see my dog that I've had since I was six, who still acts like he's a hyper puppy, in a cage, trying to keep his head up, helpless. Not himself. I had fun during the party, I still thought about my dog and I cried again when my cousin Jason hugged me and then all my aunts and other cousins hugged me asking me if I was okay. I had a good time. Audrey and carrie came over around 1:30. We all went to bed around 6. And woke up at 9:30. I was pissed we woke up that early. I got busted for bringing carries sister and boyfriend inside last night. But they weren't there for long. Chrissy just needed some lotion for her tatoo. My mom called the vet this morning, and they said that Meeko is getting better. He's walking now and went to the bathroom outside. Which is a really good sign. I'm so happy. They said if he's doing okay then we get to take him home at 5. I'm really excited. But I have to go. Jason wants me to go hang out with him n brandon
