Nellie Goes To The Vet

Nellie has been limping, and I found a swollen area/mass on her left rear leg. I was terrified that the vet visit would indicate the likelihood of cancer. The vet, Dr. Miller, said Nellie had pitting edema, and he could not feel a mass. He prescribed Rimadyl, a common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory given to dogs. BecauseContinue reading “Nellie Goes To The Vet”

Remember Kemy?

A few months ago, I taped Kemy’s ears for my friend Josh. Last weekend, Kemy won major points at the dog show in Doswell, beating me and See See! Check out those perfect ears!

Are there puppies in there?

Still waiting. See See is only about 2 weeks post breeding, so it’s too early to tell if she is pregnant or not. Therefore, I’m treating her like she is, just to make sure she gets the best of care. She’s on the futon taking a nap next to a blanket with her grandfather’s pictureContinue reading “Are there puppies in there?”
