A Very Busy Dog Day

Poor Daisy had to go to the vet today. She's been limpiing on and off for the last little while, and I can't figure out why she's doing it and it's not getting any better - so off to the vet we went.
Other than getting her head sliced open by an asshole who didn't like black and tan dogs, and when she was spayed - Daisy has never been to the vet because she's always been so healthy - so she was pretty stressed out today. And its only going to get worse - she's got to go back tomorrow to be sedated and get xrays. Poor Daisy!
And this scale wasn't very kind to her either - she's 88 pounds - 2 pounds more than Charlie! Dr. Lindsay said that she probably shouldn't weigh anymore than the high 70's - so she's got about 10 pounds to lose. The canine garbage can has got to cut back. Poor Daisy.
To apologize we went to Crystal Crescent beach afterward - Buttercup was VERY upset that I took Daisy out and not her - she showed her distate for that turn of events by taking a big dump in one bedroom and a big pee in another bedroom. She was not impressed. That's the first time she's done that - and I hope the last. Dogs are funny aren't they?
Daisy was very happy to be running on the rocks rather than panting among the other little dogs at the vet office! It was super windy today too - so that blew the stink off of all of us.
This is such a neat picture - here's the close up of Charlie and the long shot below. He photographs so neat sometimes.

And then lastly I got this book today, I've wanted it for years - Living with dogs - it's a book about dog paraphenalia - it has got so much neat stuff in it I can't write it all out here - it's going to take me many days to peruse. I'll have to post more about it in the coming days...
