GETTING STUFF DONE

IMG_2687

A Montana Sunrise

 

Took the girls to the vet and $380 later they are all up to date on all their shots, tails trimmed, have their Frontline and Heartgard, and ears cleaned. The good news is that Scooter has lost 3 lbs. She was really overweight and we’ve been working with her for the last six months to get her down. She needs to lose another pound but we’re really happy with her progress. (Just wish my progress was anywhere near as good as hers but it’s definitely not.)

It’s amazing how much better she feels with the weight gone. She plays a lot more with Skitz and the rabbits in our yard have really learned to beware the Scooter!!

Jim got the tire monitor hooked up today and it works. Wow. He had his meeting with his heart doctor and passed with flying colors. Also got to see his eye doctor and he doesn’t need new glasses. Great news on both accounts. I had my mammogram and got good results. We still have a couple more appointments in September and then we’re good to go. Yeah.

We leave tomorrow headed to Wyoming for Escapade. I’m excited but I’m also so tired it’s hard to be excited. We’ll only go about 160 miles back to Lake DeSmet for the night. Then we head over to Sundance, WY to meet up with several people that we’re going to park with at Escapade in Gillette. Hopefully, this will give us a chance to relax a couple of days.

    Always great to pass the mammogram with no call backs.

  5. Good to go..yippee!!! We would probably have an easier time losing weight if we had someone controling our food intake like the pups...we have never done "people food" for our dogs just for that reason...take care

  7. At least price wise, vets are getting to be a lot like people docs. Have a good trip.

  8. The vet bill sounds pretty much the same as when we take our 2 for their shots and checkups. We need doggy medicare!!

  9. Wow, if I had just lost three pounds and only needed to lose one more --- WOW for sure! You guys are getting good reports, and the two schnitzels are all in good order. Go for Gillette, say hello to all of our friends for us!

  10. Glad you all got such good medical reports. And glad to hear you are finally on the road again. Try to rest up some between now and Escapade, though, because it will wear you out all by itself.

  11. What a beautiful sunrise! Glad the doctor visits have gone so well. Nice to have that behind you.

    Wyoming - my second favorite state.

    Vets in your area are high - I thought my $162 bill was bad. In TN I would have paid about $80.

  12. Glad to hear that everyone is good and healthy and ready to roll. With the price vets charge, I am thinking that I had taken up the wrong profession. We sure know about vet bills over the past year.
