3 Wks at Fat Doggy Slim Camp & Spa
When we go out of town it’s not always feasible to leave our babies at home, so for the next 3 weeks they’ll retreat too the confines of their favorite canine resort–Fat Doggy Slim Camp & Spa. Also, known as the local veterinarian hospital.
Here they will be pricked, and prodded during their annual physical examination, actively participate in outdoor sport activities, and on their last day they will be treated to a relaxing beauty day at the spa. Before, we rush to their rescue and scoop them up, as their little short legs come running down the hallway in full cartwheel fashion, totally over whelmed with happiness the torture is finally over and they are headed home. They will have lost 3-5lbs each. It works every time.
We sadly dropped them off the night before last and yesterday they had their annual physical and shots. As of yesterday they were all doing fine. Well, this afternoon our second day here in Florida –it’s always something if it’s not my babies it’s one of the other 2 hell hounds. I received a call from the vet stating Skip has an ear infection they will be treating while he is boarded there. But, more concerning is Molly’s blood work came back showing – the Lyme disease bacterium. Obviously, the Lyme disease vaccine she has been receiving for at least the last 3 or 4 years has done absolutely nothing as far as prevention. Furthermore, we have never ever found a tick on her, or any sign of a tick bite, or skin irritation of any kind. Neither, Skip nor Molly has shown any signs of being sick in the past few weeks. Now, I really feel like a shit for leaving them boarded.
Oh…and let’s not forget the dental work they mentioned Chachi will be needing. Give me a break these people are trying to tap my wallet now. Grrrrruh!
**Calling in a delivery order of Chinese pork strips for those babies, they will feel much better**
