Critterfixer Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Rocky is a 13 year old springer spaniel. (Lifespan of a Springer is 12 - 14 years, according to Google.) He seems happy. He's alert, is moving fine, eating etc. But he does have labored breathing at times. Today he's been having really labored breathing for the past couple of hours but only when he lies down. It sounds like he's snoring while wide awake and his belly is heaving with each breath. Do I take him to the vet? I don't mind taking to the vet but if it is simply old age or even cancer (which I'm not going to pursue heavy testing and treatment for at his age) then could a vet even do anything? If he seemed like he was in pain it would be a no brainer. I would have him at the vet in a heartbeat. Yes, go to the vet. First step to find out what can be done is to find out what is going on.

Ellie Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 For our 3rd quarter academic celebration, we had a smorgasbord of activities in the gym.

sweetpea3829 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So....its....3:22 AM...and I've been up since 1AM (hmm...actually more like 12:30) working on all of the tasks that require a quiet house....you know...garden planning, science curriculum developing, setting assignments in Prodigy Math.... Couldn't help but swing by here again...ya'll look like you have so much fun! I feel like that awkward new kid on the playground wanting to join an already formed social group...lol. Wait...I thought homeschooling was to help avoid all that social stuff? I saw some chatter about smoke alarms? We had our hard-wired smoke alarms go off randomly for the first two years we lived here...then we discovered one of them was "bad" and replaced it...problem-solved. Still though...nothing like a 2AM fire alarm that would last for a good 30 mins or more. Well...unless you count the NEXT random fire alarm at 4AM. Surprisingly, I was the only one that ever woke up. Hubby who "can't sleep without ear plugs because the slightest noises wake him up" would keep right on sleeping like a baby. Turd.

Another Lynn Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Good Morning all! Hi Sweet Pea, I hope you're sleeping soundly now (at 6:45). I'm impressed with your use of quiet time. Garden planning (what's that? :hat: ), science curriculum developing (definitely above my pay grade :svengo: ), and assignments in prodigy math (no math prodigies here! :smash: ), would not cross my mind. :svengo: (But I might be tempted to make a spreadsheet of possible history and literature combinations for three different children cross referenced with potential morning time resources, :leaving: .)

Openhearted Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Good Morning. Hi, Sweetpea, and welcome. I have to pick dd16 up at a friend's house later. She has an appointment to get her hair trimmed at noon today. Then I have to pick up some stuff for tlih because she forgot to tell me she was almost out of some things. I told little dd that I would make her chicken and dumplings for supper today. That's about it. Hope y'all have a good day. :) and I hope everyone travels safely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hey Sweetpea - hope you are sleeping now! :) I have to drop ds11 at a boy scout thing, shop for groceries and get them home, and then get to a theater parent meeting.

sweetpea3829 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Awwww, yay! A nice social group! We use to have one of those talking fire alarms back at our old home. I don't recall it ever going off at night, but I do remember it led to my oldest two children walking around sounding like Beavis and Butthead... "Fire! Fire!" (I did get some sleep...I went up around 5:30 or so and just got up at 9). Sleep is overrated! That said...my husband rolled over when I went up to bed, sniffled and said, "I don't feel well, my throat is sore." People...man flu is upon me.

At a ceremony but quick check in.We lost but the guys seemed ok since it was such a good team. Going home tomorrow. :hurray: Glad they played well. Hope you have a safe trip home. Also hope that no one picked up sick child's germs. Sorry about the loss, but glad everybody got a chance to play their best and enjoy being part of the team. Be careful driving home. You know, treacherous roads and dangerous seas and all that! (Whispers to Sweetpea on the playground: If you don't do what she's talking about, this might help.)

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Ds is going to go to work this morning for four hours. He's still sick but not quite sick as before. He still can't talk but he's in the back and doesn't interact with customers. It is day 3 or something (I lost count) of too little sleep. I have insomnia at night and whenever I want to take a nap. And then I have to get up at the crack of dawn and then can't get back to sleep. This morning I got up with ds and can't go back to sleep because the only appt. available for the car was at 8 am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Morning ladies, coffee is a good thing! It's sunny and a bit foggy here this morning. Had a thunder storm yesterday. That would be a California-type thunderstorm. "Torrential rain and flooding" meaning an intersection in Fresno is under water, "hail" meaning a bit of hail fell the size of frozen peas (though the hail canons were going off for about an hour and we never got any hail in our neck of the woods). And they talked about it all afternoon on talk radio. Lol. JJM, hope your dd does well! IKSLO, having an empty day means you have a life and are not controlled by all the circumstances around you, being dragged from pillar to post by everyone else's schedule and demands. You are in charge of your own destiny. Jeanie, hope yu can get some rest in today somewhere! Lynn, I agree... Where there's coffee, there's a partay! Tex, glad it was a good experience for the boys! Safe travels home. Treacherous roads and all that! Sweetpea, welcome! Just jump right in and join the fun! We're celebrating our first anniversary next week! Today, I don't have much going on. Grocery shopping (ugh) and TNT Girls ice skating trip. I do not ice skate, but I do sit around and talk with the other ladies, which will be fine. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
