I Just Wiped Canned Dog Food in My Ear

Yes folks, I did. Just the usual 8pm feeding. In conjunction with my last blog, I have furthered my parenting skills to include serving my animals’ soft food twice a day. I have had to do this for awhile, however I am still not over the smell of soft, canned animal food...have you ever taken a whiff of that stuff? Okay, if not, don't. It is truly disgusting. Gross.

I think Sadie is on her choice of chicken or beef and Shooter has no choice at all as it is a low-fat, very bland mushy (I think it's beef) kind of food. In short, I have had one heck of a three weeks without my husband.

Well, I must include the fact that we are going broke due to these two munchkins of ours. Almost two weeks ago I took them to the veterinarian (and spent a fortune)...both, on the same day at the same time. Yes, this was quite amusing to others in the office I am sure.

Shooter pulled me all the way from the car to the door and promptly put on the brakes as we entered the office. While pushing (literally) him into the office with poor Sadie flopping (literally) around in her over-the-shoulder carrier, I managed to fish out my military i.d. As I am trying to sign in and deposit both labeled poop baggies into the hands of the nurse, an older man begins a conversation about Shooter's breed with me. After I answer, he proceeds to explain both dogs that he owns and their personalities and giggles as he mentions the fact that Shooter appears to pretty much walk me instead of the other way around. As this man is talking, Shooter has managed to tangle me, Sadie, and himself in a mess of which I have to physically clime out of. I felt so incapable of managing this situation and turned bright red. I sat in the corner until Shooter and Sadie's names were called.

Sadie, in for her yearly vaccinations and Shooter for his heartworm test as well as an infection and another antihistamine, both did rather well considering. I might ask you, did you hear that big in the middle..yea, about the infection? Absolutely, another infection. The same one...So, here we are soft food twice a day with three pills in the morning and one at night.

This is the account of the last two weeks with the animals. Definitely not ideal. On the bright side, when I am lonely they take care of me.

On a totally separate has-nothing-to-do-with-this-post note: I will be posting shorter posts so as not to take up much of your time.
