Good boys

We made our scheduled visit to the Vet yesterday for Otis and Riley to have their heartworm test. Otis was a bit grumpy but Riley took it in stride. I always feel bad for them when it comes to having this checkup because the Vet has to draw blood, and they take it from their little legs. They were GOOD BOYS though, and now we're glad it's over and done with for another year (and the test was negative).

This will be a busy but fun week. Shopping with my daughter on Thursday...fun, fun!, then on Saturday our granddaughter will be in the Christmas parade with the Girl Scouts. We also will be celebrating our oldest daughter's birthday this week....dinner and birthday cake.

So now I must get some cleaning done, grocery shopping and hopfully some Christmas decorating. We will probably get our tree this weekend.

Enjoy your week!

Doggie day

Time for Otis and Riley to go to the vet.



I usually get an afternoon appointment so I have time to exercise them in the morning and that way they will be calm when they get there (sometimes this works!). Also your pain tolerance is higher in the afternoon, did you know that?

We take a l-o-n-g walk to the park,

and they run and run,

until they get tired.

Then we walk home. Riley walks through a nearby puddle to cool off.

In the afternoon they're in the car and we're off to the vet.

They get their rabies shots which only takes about two minutes, and they still fuss and whine and try to head for the door. They do fine though.

We're home now and resting comfortably.

What an ordeal!

They were at the groomers the other day and had their nails clipped, had a bath, and it was also time for their monthly flea and tic medication. I think they just want to be left alone now.

I did manage to get some painting done, and I did a bit of yard work, but mostly today was a doggie day!
