Life on the (funny) farm . . .

You know how sometimes dogs or cats will get themselves or their collar/tags caught in the handles of a bag or something and then run around like crazy thinking they're being chased?  

Not here.

Katy (the white German Shepherd) keeps getting her tags caught in the AC vent she likes to lie on top of. When she was a puppy, it trapped her there and she'd have to whine until someone rescued her. Then she got big enough that one day when she stood up, the grill came with her! So now she just calmly walks over to the nearest human so they can detach it.  Katy up close

Doggy Day

Yes, I just spent 2 hours and $400 at the vet this morning.  I hate walk in clinic, but this is how they punish flakes (like me) who miss their scheduled appointments. 

Katy has to go back Monday and have  a lump under her arm aspirated.  Probably fatty cyst, but just close enough to lymph glands that we need to be sure.  We tried to do it in the office today, but she was very sensitive about it.  Another reason to be at least slightly alarmed.  Of course, since she'll be under, they can go ahead and clean her teeth and cut her nails really good.  Other than the cyst, she's great, maybe 5-10 pounds overweight, out of the 111lbs.  But perky, good heart and lungs, bright eyes, shiny coat, negative on the heartworms.

Rusty is quite well, thank you, and beautiful teeth.  Same all round perky and shiny as Katy; he might also lose a pound or two.

ETA:  Katy's lump is in fact a fatty cyst.  nothing to worry about.

Stress relief

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
piss on it and walk away.

Politicians and Dogs

Politicians are interested in people. Not that this is a good thing. Fleas are interested in dogs.

Help When You Need it

A barking dog is often more useful than a sleeping lion.
