Lessons learned on the Eve of 2013


December 31, 2012
On this last day of 2012, I've learned a few things.

First. Dogs can get ear infections. Just like people. Who knew, right? We might as well have both of the youngest dwarfs in the household have a predisposition to ear infections.

Second. Treating said dog ear infections is expensive.

Third. Dogs do NOT like getting their temperature taken. Think about it. They can't take it in their ear or mouth or armpit....

Fourth. If you're going to spend a pretty penny to treat a dog ear infection, you might as well shell out $85 to get a year supply of heartworm medication. Hopefully you'll remember to administer it every month.

And fifth. My six month old puppy weighs an astounding 63 lbs. The vet chuckled, told me she had big feet to grow into, and said she was going to start "filling out" in the next few months. Filling out? What in the heeby-geeby is the 63 lbs. then?!
