This morning, Sunday dawned rainy & humid just like Saturday morning. Forecasters predict rain through Wednesday. Got some honey-dos done. Planted new plants; fixed watering system; relocated hammock; repaired dog agility equipment; made more burritos. Got watermelon & more eggs at Spirit Lake grocery store; made deposit at bank.
Saturday was entirely boring. Played with the dogs; cleaned out the refrigerator.
Landscape Dave came by in the AM after hubby was done with his Chiropractor appt. I had forgotten to lock the dog gate & all of the puppies got out of the backyard. Harriet menaced Dave until we got her locked back up. I really need to get this dog on doggie-downers. Found some herbal calming pills for dogs that might help. If not, we will have to talk to the vet to find something else as she is too hyper. Maybe that is why she is not putting on weight.
When I took Harriet & Bravo to the vet on Friday at 4PM, they pulled the old switcheroo on me by giving me a substitute VET. I have repeatedly told them I would only see Dr. Mike. But his new office staff obviously cannot read or print out a chart correctly. I should have just refused to see this doctor; Bravo was in a high state of agitation right after we entered the office which they explained was brought about by a previous dog letting off alpha pheremones. Bravo must have picked up on it and was NOT happy to be poked or pried over by these two strangers! Grrrr. There is no reason to upset a dog with a mere vet visit. Their diagnosis was that Bravo has pimples on his belly. He is supposed to be washed with plain soap; kept dry (drier) during the summer; and watch his belly. The boy's got ZITS! Gross.
I never even bothered to take Harriet in to see the faux vet as I want her to visit with Dr. Mike and she would have been even MORE upset than B-Bo. Harriet is so high-strung. Poor dogs.
