Yesterday, my parents' dog Koby was very sick. He was just laying on the ground all day, wouldn't eat his supper, and wouldn't drink anything. This is very unlike him. He had killed a groundhog on the weekend, and had some bites from that, so we were concerned that he caught something. All Koby's shots were up to date, so at least we weren't too worried about something like rabies. My mom was up all evening last night worried and was afraid to go to bed because she was so concerned. But, he wasn't whimpering and his breathing was normal, so she was finally able to go to sleep.
She took him to the vet this morning and sure enough, Koby has an infection from the groundhog bites. They gave him some antibiotics and said he should bounce back within 24 hours. So, I'm sure by tomorrow, he'll be back to his old self. My poor mom though, she has been through an ordeal and barely slept last night! And of course, you always think the worst in these types of situations.
In other news, I am going to tell HR at my office about the pregnancy tomorrow. I really have to. I am being sent to a site on Thursday of next week that used to be contaminated and I am really not sure if it is safe for me to go to. I really don't want to take a chance. Not to mention with how queasy I've been feeling, I really can't spend a day out in the field right now. Maybe in a few weeks, but not now. So, I have to come clean because I really can't go to a site that was formerly contaminated. It has been remediated, but can they really guarantee that is safe for a pregnant woman in the 1st trimester??? Figures, I haven't been to a site in months, maybe longer, and then of course they want to send me NOW. So, I'm going to tell HR what's going on and we'll go from there.
