Rain so needed and a trip to the vet to boot!

Wow, what a difference a few days can make. We were sadly lacking with water via mother nature but not so any longer. I've been putting off watering the front lawn and now - after a really nice soaking today, I think things will be 'green-ing' up all around. Just in time for a little more heat this weekend.

For my dog loving friends and family, it was wellness check up date for Sunny and Lucas today. I think I have always taken them in separately, so I experienced some 'sticker' shock when the receptionist said "that will be $356.00, please"! Yikes. Good thing I love those puppies!

Sunny, of course, came out of the room happy and bouncy - 'perfect' was the vet's only comment.

Lucas, sweet Lucas.... vet said shots were given, blood work was taken and samples were tested. However, vet suggested Lucas be given a Valium for his next wellness check up?!! My poor vet - and his tech - couldn't get Lucas on the table, couldn't check his ears or his belly - but they could check his paws and his teeth! Go figure. Vet said Lucas seemed more calm with the female technician, but "for his own comfort some type of sedation would be good". Ok, doc. Got the message.

Just look at this boy:



How sweet:
