It all happened so fast. I had a real nice day on Saturday. Mom hung out with me in the studio and we had some special quiet time together. Saturday night I ate another yummie meal with my favorite pumpkin mix to keep my poops nice and solid. We went to bed as usual....

I almost died. I had to go to the hospital. Ash and mom took me there and then they had to leave me. They cried when they left. I was too sick to cry. It started with another of those horrible vertigo attacks. Geriatric canine vestibular disorder is what Dr. Brad calls it. I...
