Keeping My Cool

I had to take my little chihuahua to the emergency vet this morning -- they're keeping her overnight to give her an IV because she's severely dehydrated. How do these things happen so fast?
The house is so quiet without her. I don't like it.

My daughter will be home soon from church with my husband. I have to get her ready so we can leave for the Level 4-6 State Championship (my daughter's a JO gymnast for those who might not know).

So I have to be breezy about our dog being at the vet's to keep my daughter from worrying while at States, and not let my daughter see my nervousness about her competing (I'm not the relaxed type while at meets!) either.

This is going to be a very interesting day...
