A day in...

Another year with a big thumbs up!

It was that time again. The dreaded yearly checkup and shots. My dawg! They make you feel like a pin cushion! Then all the pushing and poking and squeezing, sheesh! Well, I got thru it ok, everything looks 100%. Hooray! That says a lot for a 15 year old. He didn't even complain about my weight! He drew some blood too and we're just waiting for those results to come back. He did find that my gums are infected again for some reason. They cleared up after the teeth were cleaned, but now there's an infection again. Now I have pills I have to take twice a day. I hope they don't think I like that idea! Oh well, I guess there's some pitfalls to getting old. The vet told mom that after I'm finished with these pills, he wants her to refill the prescription once a month to keep the infection from coming back. He said if I would let her rinse my gums with antibacterial doggy mouthwash then I won't have to take those pills. I'll just have to think about that! That would me I have to be cooperative...hmmm...we'll see. So I hope that's all I need to see the vet for this year. He's a good man, but the less I see of him, the better.
