A Father's Day Weekend Like No Other!

This past weekend Paul and I nearly lost our precious little darling, Bunni. It's sad that it so happened to be on Father's Day Weekend. By the way, I do hope that all the Dads and Grandpas out there had a wonderful Father's Day!
Anyway, back to my story of almost losing Bunni. Bunni ended up getting into poison behind the dryer that the exterminator left and it was a miracle that she made it on Saturday night!!! We noticed that her beard and teeth were covered in the blue residue and we had a feeling she ate quite a lot of the poison. Paul looked up the symptoms of dogs being poisoned and we only had 2 hours to get her to an emergency clinic! Already Bunni's stomach was bloating and hard as a rock and her eyes got really bloodshot. Since Bunni is so tiny and due to the large amount of poison she ate, we only had like an hour to drive into town to the clinic. Paul speed as fast as he could while I held a motionless, limp Bunni in my lap. I was so afraid we would get pulled over by a cop and waste valuable time which we didn't have. Finally we got Bunni to the vet in the niche of time! They told us that if we had waited another 2o minutes, she would have died!!!! The vet gave Bunni a Morphine derivative IV which made her vomit up everything in her stomach. They also gave her a Vitamin K shot. Currently, Bunni is doing extremely better and will be on Vitamin K for a total of 30 days. The life is back in her eyes and she is energetic again! Enclosed is a picture of Bunni borrowing her cousin, Sophie's, blanket. :)
