So today was Super Bowl o'rama and I spent the day doing my homework and watching the game. Damn fine game, damn fine ^_____^ And the Patriots won! Again! Boston is totally having the best sports year ever, what with the Patriots victory last season, the Red Sox victory, and now Patriots again. I fancy thinking right now Regan is being attacked by overly zealous Bostonians, but in reality she's probably in a meeting like her AIM away message says she is.. uhrhurhur :P

Unfortunately the football game seems to be the only good thing about today.

Something is wrong with Ginger.

Around the middle of the third quarter, when we were eating dinner, Ginger suddenly got up from under the table and staggered into the living room where she began breathing really hard and started drooling a little. My parents and I ran to her side, but she closed her eyes and wouldn't look at any of us. Eventually we got her to lay down, and she continued to breathe shallowly until she laid her head down and passed out.

Then my Mother started to cry. And we petted her and petted her and my mother told me to keep petting her and we didn't stop petting her.

Eventually she came around after ten minutes or so, and since then we haven't kept our eyes off of her. She seems alright, aside from the fact that she has barely any energy at all, and she's almost too weak to look at us when we call her name.

But the worst part is that we have no idea why this is happening, especially since she was acting perfectly normal the entire day.

It's a Sunday night and there are no vet clinics open so there's no where we can go, no one we can talk to. I'm worried. My Mother did mention that it could be because of her age, but really, most dogs live much longer than ten years. And she's been amazingly healthy her entire life. Still, she did think that we should prepare ourselves... just in case. We have under twelve hours until we can get her medical attention. But I hope she'll be alright until then. She just has to.

I don't want my doggie to die.

And by that I mean, how sad. I remember when my dog got dead. I was so sad. I cried very much. She was 12 years old, and though she had been in good health all her life, she started getting old when she was about 10.
Maybe your doggie is just 'getting old'. I hope everything works out. Good luck for her.
