Cassy goes to the vet

Did I ever tell you how much me and especially my hubby love our Cassy-girl. She is something special and Timm will do just about anything for her. She has been kinda coughing for a few days and seemed like there was something stuck she was trying to cough up. Could it be part of the rib bone she stole out of the garbage a few days ago? Anyway, it isn't getting any better so a trip to the vet was made for this morning. Nothing stuck, fortunately! Lungs are clear. It's a mild case of bronchitus (loosely known as kennel cough according to the vet)...totally treatable. She received a shot of amoxicillin and an RX for the same in pill form. She doesn't like shots by the way....nor the thermometer stuck up her butt, but she did have a mild temp so I guess it was necessary. Now we love our vet but I think he is pricing himself right out of our budget. It was $170 for today's visit.

So...Cassy, along with her mommy and daddy may not get to go camping this weekend with all their friends. She loves to ride on the ATVs, camp, hang out at the campfire, and play in the water. We will have to see, her visit ate a big chunk of our trip money for this weekend.

Shelby's looking great!

It was the day we were all looking forward to. Shelby went back to the vet, got her stitches out and is looking great. The vet was really pleased with the way she is healing. And what we are all excited about is the removal of the cone around her head. I have no doubt she is excited and pleased to be out of that dang thing. That dog didn't even try to figure out how to get around something, she just plowed right on through everything...and into everything. I have lots of paint touch up to do around door frames I noticed. But most important of all she has her whole ear and is doing well. It could have been so much worse.
