As we got home from the vet yesterday...

Good Afternoon All;
Late today- Been fighting off my head... And I really am SO tired of that.
Life goes on.
I had to bring a few things to Casey at work yesterday- Arrived at lunchtime, and used our time to pick up her prescriptions at her doctor in Oneida.
While she went in, I took Punk to the back field and played fetch with her.
As Casey walked back out, I threw it one more time.
...Punk ran after it, lay down, and stayed there.
WTH?
She stayed there the whole time that it took Casey to walk out to the car.
When she finally got up, she was limping- Right front leg.
Two months ago, she had been limping too for over a week. Same leg- so not too sure what goes on there, but I knew I didn't want to have Gimpy hanging on for a week again, so we called in.
To remember that she needs her shots too...
Oh well. (Good thing I had my checkbook along)...
Getting there, there were a few other "patients"...
A little "mop" of a pooch that wasn't feeling too well; and a black lab that came out of the exam room shortly after my little Punk got weighed in.
(97.3 pounds).
Miss Punk and the Mop had a staredown from 3 chairs away.
The "Mop" barked at Punk.
This itty~bitty dog that sat so nicely on its owners lap.
A little yapping noise, (barely even a real "bark")...
Punk began to shake all over.
Worked up her courage and barked right back.
And promptly crawled upon my own lap.
Well, the front ½ of her anyway...
Angel, their receptionist, asks, "So what's it like to have a 100 pound lap dog?"
We all laughed at that...
But nope. That's NOT going to work!
At this point, the black lab came out of the exam room # 2.
With that, Punk started to cry- shiver, whine, and sob...
Too funny for words.
So, I have a 100 pound (lap) dog who all this time must have thought she was Dr. Spires only patient!
I took her outside for a few moments...
Dr. Spires said he can feel a slight difference from her right to her left shoulder...
(D'ya think the silly dog would even flinch and let him know when it hurt)?
Nope.
She won't let Casey or I know either...
We put off the x~rays, (as there will probably be another incident), and after getting all of her shots, he sent us home with some Rimadyl.
She had never been vaccinated for kennel cough. But it's not totally necessary if she isn't around a bunch of dogs... I told him to do it anyway. One never knows. (Especially with her)!
She has been a couch potato since then... (And since we haven't been doing anything of an aerobic nature , I have only given her one of those pills so far).
But that one pill sure knocked her off her paws...
Or maybe it's because of the shots she got.
I generally administer all of her shots- everything but the rabies. That one has to be state certified and such. Given that a drive to Green Bay is probably more expensive now than the difference the vet charges, I also had him do those...
I have been lazy too.
And am actually happy that it has been raining for the past few days so I can get off my foot for a while.
(I believe I saw my ankle this morning)... Say "YAY!"
On the very good news front, Berta has informed me that all of Jessica's stuff is out of her apartment.
(That saves me the bother of having to toss Jessica into traffic).
Roberta, Gabriel, (and his soon to be wee little brother) will probably even be able to move into another apartment by July 1st.
A good thing for them all.
Roberta has also been informed that due to her Uterine didelphys she will probably not be carrying this child to term.
(Aug 28).
It occurs when, in utero, the Müllerian ducts do not fuse properly. The ducts form two complete and separate uteri.
Each uterus also has its own cervix.
There is a septum down the middle of the vagina, which is sometimes called a double vagina.
There is one ovary to each uterus.
It is possible to get pregnant in both uteri at the same time.
She has carried both Lawrence and Gabriel in her other uterus. (This little guy chose to be different is all)...
Attaboy! Grandma loves you just the same!
I'd better get my butt busy around here... Need to vacuum up the cat and dog fur that looks like little animals in the corners.
As long as they don't have 8 legs I am fine with that all. (Guess there's worse things than having a few furry animals around)!
Casey has been feeling poorly for the past few days; fighting with her pancreas and all...
No, she has not missed any work because of it either!
(Say YAY! again)!
So let's see...
- Punk is OK for now.
- My head will go away soon.
- Jessica is out on her keester.
- Berta is moving.
- Casey is loving her new job- just hating her pancreas.
- And I have seen my ankle!!!
All in all, it has been a good week!!!
Nasty storms tomorrow and Saturday...
Not looking forward to those, (OR to the 86° heat that is to precede them).
And I do know that would be 'cooling things off' for some of you. Just not for me.
Hope your week has been just as nice as ours.
Love to all.
XOXO
Anne
