Story of my dog

I should be studying for my anthropology midterm I have tonight, but since I don't even know what to study I will just blog about it instead. Besides, I am feeling pretty proud of myself for writing my entire paper this morning. My dog Mia is lying besides me so I will tell you about the events in her life recently. She went in last week to be fixed, however they discovered she was pregnant! The dad, my german shepherd Bear. Since the puppies would have killed her, saying that she is a pomeranian, we had to abort them, which we were quite upset about. She did well after the surgery and seemed to be recovering quite well until we came home Sunday night from dinner at my brothers and discovered she was bleeding all over the recliner. We picked her up and her incision had come open, and something was hanging out (we later learned it was her stomach lining). We called someone who worked at the vet and she said to wait until the morning to take her in since the hospital would be very expensive. We called the emergency hospital just to make sure and they said to wait. My dad wrapped her in saran wrap and gauze and held her the whole night. In the middle of the night she was bleeding everywhere and we were sure she wasn't going to make it. My dad took her in right away the next morning and they tried to charge us for animal cruelty and abuse for waiting so long. Mia was taken care of and she is doing quite fine now. She has to wear a cone all day which she hates, but who wouldn't? Hopefully she heals quickly so she can go outside again. That's all I had to say.
Well off to my studying.
