Nathan and I just moved to Nashville on Saturday. We are getting all settled in. I am way closer to work and everything is going very well. Today I was trying to get some more stuff put away. I went down to the basement to put something away and came back upstairs and noticed little Sophia eating something. It was blue and smelled sweet. I had no idea what this was and neither did Nathan. I was dreading the worst and looked online and confirmed that fear. It was indeed rat poison. The owner must have left some and of course Sophia had to find it. I immediately took her to the vet right down the road which is only about 2 minutes away. I took her in, and the lady was on the phone. I waited patiently-- but was screaming on the inside. I pulled out the rat poison explaining she had eaten some. She told me the vet was too busy to see me. Yes. You read that right. "Too Busy" to see my dog that had ingested RAT POISON- that really bad stuff that can make your animal bleed to death. She recommened that I go to the vet down the road. Hmmmm. Whereas I appreciated her recommendation, I did NOT appreciate them not seeing my dog. This to me was ridiculous and extremely rude. Being new to Nashville, I do not know my way around very well yet. I drove about 10 minutes in the wrong direction. I was stressing out. Time seemed to be flying pass me. I finally arrived at this other vet clinic. Thankfully they saw me immediately. They indused vomiting. Poor little Sophia. She looked utterly pitiful. They gave her a shot and told me to keep an eye on her. We are back home, and she is resting and seems to be ok. I talked to my mom that works at a vet clinic back in Murfreesboro and said that it sounds like Sophia will be ok. Time felt like it was moving so fast and so slow at the same time. I was so scared. I am so thankful that I saw her eating it and was able to get care rather quickly. I can only pray that God will keep her well. I don't know what I would do without my best friend. She is so wonderful. 
Whew. I just want to curl up and rest. This afternoon has been crazy. I hope that everyone else is doing very well! I hope you have a wonderful night!
