Not A Good Way To Start My Day

Yesterday were the PSATs at school. It is for sophomores and juniors and it is during the first couple of periods. Since freshmen and seniors do not have to take the PSATs we got to come in late. Homeroom for us started at 10:20. I started my morning at 6:30am, only an hour later than I normally get up. I was hoping I would get to sleep until at least 8am, but my sister woke me up getting ready for school. I made myself a huge breakfast of sausage, eggs, bacon, and pancakes. After I ate I got ready and then went downstairs to sit on the couch and do some homework. My dog Max was sitting on the couch next to me. He started rubbing the right side of is face against the couch furiously. He would stop and then start up again. The third time he did it I went over to him to rub his early and scratch his face for him because I thought he had an itch. He would not let me touch him, it was so odd. I sat back down and instead of doing my homework i watched him carefully. He kept rubbing his right side up against the couch. Then he got up of the couch and went into the kitchen. After 30 seconds he got back up and went to his bed. The he would go back up on the couch. He started breathing faster and heavier and he kept pacing all over the house. He started whining, and i got so worried. I called both of my parents who were at work and told them there was something wrong. Max is pretty old, and I was worried he was having an episode like my older dog did. Well my dad came home from work and looked at Max. He put a cleaner in Max's ear and after a little while he started to calm down. He is okay now, thank goodness. We think that since he was outside a bug crawled in his ear and Max either shook him out or the cleaner killed it. It was such a scary morning, but I went to school and the rest of my day was just peachy.
