11:59pm
deiter ate 3 crackers i gave him.
i think he will be fine in the morning.
that was jus so creepy seeing him passed out like that, staring straight ahead.
it was like he was almost dead or something. i just watched him for hours
to make sure he was still breathing!
yuck :(
but i'm glad this day is passed and he is doing fine. i love my little monkey
smusher smoosher pusha bush.
man, when my dogs start getting old and start getting sick , i'm going to be a wreck!
i'm going to listen to coast to coast
now.
it's about mars and cydonia. very interesting!
i'm crocheting the most beautiful
shawl in the world with yarn that jacqui sent me.
it's luscious and magical! this is my 3rd day working on it.

9:35pm
deiter is still sleepy and wobbly
but doing better each hour.
i tried to get him to drink some water, but he won't do that yet.
i've just been crocheting and watching frontline.
7:31pm
deiter moves around a bit now. well,
he tries.
he doesn't do a very good job of it!
6:20pm
well, he just looked at me finally
and itched his face with his paws. that is a good sign.
that's the 1st time he looked at something specific instead of staring straight
ahead , since got home.
i will now go into the kitchen and nuke some soup for myself. i haven't eaten
yet today.
6:05pm
good grief. i have never seen deiter
so out of it. it freaks me out.
i hope my vet didn't give him too much morphine.
when i left the vet he could still walk. but now, i can move him into any
position i want and he sleeps with his eyes open...if he even is asleep.
i can't tell. at least he responds to a few things. like pooka just tried
to lick his eye and deiter moved away and growled a tiny bit. so i know he
is at least still sort of aware.
i can't wait until this wears off because i hate seeing him like this, even
tho i know he is feeling no pain.
this really sucks. i feel really guilty even tho i know i can't be perfect
all the time and accidents will happen.
i should have known better than to leave that chocolate on my nightstand.
that was so stupid of me.
it was about 1/2 an ounce of dark chocolate that he ate. i don't know if that
is a lot or a little for his size. he's maybe about 12 or more pounds. this
truly sucks. i can't believe only a 1/2 an hour has passed. it seems like
forever.
5:25pm
there was a lot i was going to do
today, but deiter ate some dark chocolate and chocolate is poison for dogs,
so jason and i took him to the vet where they induced vomiting by giving him
a small shot of morphine.
so he threw-up the chocolate and now we are home and he is laying on my bed
totally sleepy and drunk from the morphine.
i feel like such a bad mom for leaving
the chocolate on my nightstand.
i will NEVER do that again. :(
maybe the amount of chocolate wouldn't have harmed him, but i wasn't going to take that chance.
here is some info on chocolate and dogs:

now i'm just going to crochet or
read and look after my little piglet monkey. poor little beaster. he's a major
sleepy-po now.
you can see him laying there in the middle of my bed on cam.
:(
