Christmas Eve

Time for Christmas tree photos!

Payton is sad about this, even though it involves cookies.

He is sad because he can’t smile on cue and I keep saying I need to train it but I never do.

Auggie is kind of sad because his legs are still pretty naked.

We’ll just take pictures of his adorable face instead.

Payton singles!

Very intense. YOU WANT ME TO LAY DOWN?? WATCH HOW GOOD I CAN LAY DOWN.

Always with the head down photo.

DOES THAT GET ME A COOKIE?

One more of the best Auggie.

Not a whole lot this year. Auggie had been doing really well, but of course on Christmas Eve, when none of my regular vets are open, he started coughing a bit again. We did get these photos, and after photos he got to take a trip to my grandma’s house so I could watch him while we had dinner and opened presents. We then took a quick trip to the emergency vet as his breathing started to get a bit labored and he was coughing more, and I decided to bring him in before he actually got in distress. He got a shot of injectable Lasix and instructions to increase his oral Lasix, and he was able to come home. He felt much better after his injection started to work and flush the fluid out. We went home to get Payton and everybody came back to my parent’s house to stay for the night so we could all open more presents and stockings in the morning.

Auggie definitely was feeling better once he got to take a nap in his favourite spot – under the Christmas tree. Best place.
