I lost track of time and almost didn't make it, but remembered at the last possible minute and was able to get them there. I was a few minutes late, but thankfully traffic was light and no one was going too slow so I wasn't any later than I was. It ended up costing a lot more than I anticipated, but at least everything that needed to be done was. They were both really good too, but of course they were given pills to calm them before we left. It's nice not having to have Rolli sedated anymore and Jake not fighting either. I do the same with Angel and Max. None of the dogs are too fond of going to the vet and Max also gets car sick, or at least he used to.
Jake and Rolli were only supposed to get their shots and nails trimmed, but didn't realize that they were also due for their heartworm tests, which were negative, thank goodness. I also asked the vet about the loss of hair on Jake's tail, so he did a thyroid test. Jake is now on medication for that. It also explained his sudden weight gain and a few other things. Thankfully it's something that doesn't cost a lot of money to treat. I have to take him back in 30 days to be weighed again to see if he lost any weight and to see if he needs a medication adjustment.
I'm glad I asked though. He used to have the most gorgeous tail and now it looks pathetic. Hopefully he'll get it back to where it was before. He really is a beautiful dog, but right now he is lacking some of that beauty. He's still my protector though.
Dave told me that the whole time I was gone, Max howled. Dave said that he would walk through the rooms howling after he didn't find me. Poor baby missed me. He has become such a mama's boy, even more pathetic than Jake. I never thought that possible, but it's true. He has the cutest howl though. I can just imagine him doing that. He was glad to see me when I got home. Next month will be his and Angel's turn. I'll probably take them at the same time I take Jake. On second thought, maybe not.
