It is Friday June 5, 2009. I had plans this afternoon to make the trip from Idaho to Washington to spend the weekend with my wife. I got home from work at about 1:30 this afternoon and let my Bassette hound Bo in the house. I realized that he was not quite right. He was not his usual chipper self. He had not eaten any of his food today, and he did not want his usual dog biscuit treat. He walked slowly in the house wagging his tail and looked up at me. Then he painfully climbed in the recliner and laid down. Not even close to his normal behavior of running in, jumping on me, running around the house and then eating his treat nd wanting to play.

Instead of making the trip to Washington I took bo to the vet. After the doctor examined him he said that he was running a fever and was slightly dehydrated. He thought it might be a stomach issue and that he would like to keep him over night to rehydrate him and run some blood tests.

I left him there to get the tests. I will find out more tomorrow. It is going to be a long night for me. I am worried about him and I will worry about him until I hear what is going on. I will post more when I find out more.
