Just a shout!

Just giving everyone a shout to see how we're doing.
My Princie gave me a shock the other day. Princie's
a white mail Syrian, 42 months old this month. Well,
the other day he was acting very ill. Breathing heavily.
Sort of crawling with his hind legs far apart as if he
was in much pain. At one point he turned over on his
back and stayed that way for a bit, and as if he had
a very hard time breathing as well. You can imagine
what I thought. OK, 42 months old so I guess it's come
down to that time we all dread. I kept an eye on him
all night. He just stayed in his house pretty much the whole
time. The next day I saw him at his water and after he
had a drink he picked up some food and went back in
his house. Like clockwork every evening he's been coming
out looking for me to let him out for as long as I've had him.
Well, he was out looking for me like nothing ever happened.
No heavy breathing, he's walking and running just fine. I
don't know what it was but whatever it was it only lasted for
a day thank God!
Yours truly,
Stephen

We've had things like that happen, and sometimes last a day, maybe two, then
go right back to normal.

It certainly is enough to get us all worried and worked up preparing for the
worst, then next thing you know, everything is better.

Sometimes I think some of them do it to get sympathy, just to see how much
we love them. =)

They're smart little buggers, thats for sure!
