respiratory distress??

120 breaths per minute
I think that sounds like some respiratory distress...but not so sure in dogs?
Eloise and I went for our 2ish mile run then stopped at the dog park, played, and ran home. At least 20 minutes after being here she was still breathing out of control. So...I counted her respirations.
I was very impressed at how fast she was still breathing, and am still not sure that I counted correctly, she was breathing faster than I could count.
So we got out this handy (dusty....ignore that please) fan and she found her a nice spot with her favorite toy and started cooling off.
The things I do for this fur baby.
Look at my green thumb!!! Outdoor plants only. I kill all indoor plants except for african violets. But those things are impossible to kill - obviously - since mine's still alive.
Pat works all day and night, then night shift this week - what should I do today!??! heeeelp!
