Sweetie Visits the Vet

This morning we got Annie off to school and then it was time to take Sweetie in for her vet appointment at the Powell Boulevard Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Felton prescribed some antibiotics and probiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine for her, which we hope will make her more comfortable and help her regain some weight. She was down from 17 pounds to 10.1, which is a pretty substantial loss for such a small dog. She's clearly showing her age. Dr. Felton was very gentle and understanding with her.

During the day we walked to the circle and to the East Rose Garden, both within yards of the house. The day was sunny and and the flowers spectacular. We called Jenske to wish her a happy birthday. It's always good to hear her voice, and we're looking forward to seeing her and Wes and our other friends in July.

We picked Annie up from Poekoelan again and headed out to Sandy Riverfront again. We'd gotten a call during the day to let us know we had a flat tire on Venture. It turned out to be a nail embedded in the tire, and Ken got out the compressor to refill it temporarily until we could get it repaired.

We had spaghetti, mixed veggies, cole slaw, and fresh pineapple for dinner. Annie especially appreciated the pasta and pineapple.

Sweetie took her medicine with no trouble after I wrapped the pills in cheese, covered them with turkey baby food, and sprinkled on the probiotics. She licked her dish and looked around for more even.
