Today we went for the free SPCA vet exam. His stitches from the neutering were getting infected from his licking. Forty-two dollars for antibiotics will fix that plus the poor guy has to wear one of those cone thingies around his head so he doesn't pester those stitches. He's so embarrassed everytime he hits a wall or doorway. He can't figure out how to bounce back and take another try so he just stands there until rescued. He can't even get into his doghouse. The little dog, Molly, has to have her teeth cleaned and the estimate is $416.00 and that's with a 15% reduction for Dental Month. And it's no wonder I shop for clothes at Valu Village and wear plastic clogs for shoes.
The vet figures the dog may be crossed with rottweiler--not our favourite animal. How does he live with such a split personality--Golden Retriever and Rotti? The Rotti in him growed at two well-behaved poodles he saw in the park. Uh-oh!
