We're back from the second vet visit. He loves to see all the other dogs & cats. New smells are a high for him. This time we saw Doctor Wanda. Our history with her goes back to her first days on the job in the 80's. She treated Pete (Re-Pete) for many years and has such a caring, but common sense way about her.
His final distemper shot went in without a flinch. The ears are a yeast infection & we now have the fix. I told her we were soul searching about the heart worm tx. It is such an expense, and considering our lack of information on his history we are having a hard time justifying the cost. She understands this and left the ball in our court.
We left in high spirits, he pooped on her grass, not mine (lol), and we went off to the shop. DH & I shared a breakfast biscuit and coffee while Riley roamed the shop. Big mistake!
The smell came first, followed by a raised eyebrow, then the question..."Riley do you have some bad gas or what?" Well it was the "or what"! In the front window no less, probably in full view of pedestrian traffic. Thank goodness our downtown is dead on Saturday mornings!
A very ashamed Riley went outside while I took care of the "or what".
Ups and downs are what we are given, no matter what area of our lives. S**t happens...we deal with the bad and enjoy the heck out of the good and thank God for second chances.
