Pugsley had his annual check up at the vet this morning. It was all good news.
1) He didn’t need shots because the rabies and distemper now last for 3 years and he just had them in 2005.
2) The lump on his leg that I found and didn’t tell anyone about but have secretly been worrying over turned out to just be an age wart, doesn’t even need to be removed.
3) His heart and lungs are still going strong.
4) His fecal exam, Lymes check and heartworm were all negativo.
5) He got his nails trimmed and anal sacs emptied at a complimentary no charge!
6) His teeth look good and don’t need to be cleaned.
7) Now that I have pet insurance, I can submit a claim for the bill and wait for a check in the mail. Giddy up! We just received his insurance card the other day..
There was one minor thing, he weighs 26.5 pounds which is too big for him, so he does need to go on a diet. The sausage is not too happy about this development.
Now I'm off to a weekend of catching up with old friends, hanging with the fam on Sunday, then I'm in the city for work on Monday. Have a nice weekend and Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad's out there!

Glad to hear everything went well. I'd pay almost any amount to have the vet to the anal sacs if I had to. My vet snickers at me and tells me she'll be glad to teach me how to do them myself and I just smile and say "No, I don't mind paying you the $12 to do them!"

Glad to hear Romeo is doing well and that you are too. Very happy about the lump on his leg being nothing.
I miss you it's seems like it has been a while since we've had the opportunity to catch up...hopefully we can so that before I head to Florida...maybe a walk at Harrybrooke after work? I need to get your cell phone number again -- it was stored in my other cell and I don't have it in the new one. There have been a few times when I've gone to call you and realized I couldn't. :) Have a good one! SL
