The Vet

We have big plans for the day,but it started out slowly with the family watching the start of the 2010 World Cup. (Although we were cheering for South Africa, we thought Mexico scored when they were called off-sides.) Puppy is living the high life. She has already forgotten that five days ago she was living outside and sharing a kennel with six other puppies. She has taken to pampering quite well. She shows her appreciation by being as cute as she can be and doing her business in the yard.

She had 10:30 AM Vet appointment. Ron took her and I stayed with Daisy. She weighs eleven pounds. Since Ron found a wood tick on her ear and there was some blood when he pulled it out, she came home with some medicine just to be safe. We have to give her Clavamox Drops twice a day. We also have 8 Nemex tablets to give her to make sure she does not have and will not have worms. She also got her first application of Frontline to protect against fleas and ticks and her first dose of Heartgard to protect against heartworm. She should be safe for awhile.

I think that covers everything from the vet. The rest of the day for puppy will be naptime, playtime, and well you know. The real excitement for the day is that Sara is coming to visit. I will pick her up at the airport this evening. We have big plans. We just received MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS from Netflix. She thinks we will all enjoy it.

She also wants to go shopping in Maple Grove, MN and stop at the Land's End Inlet on our way to the airport on Sunday. Of course there will also be a lot of home cooking. Chef Boy R. Morrow will prepare French Toast for breakfast and fried walleye and perch caught (by someone in Ron's fishing party) in Mlle Lacs Lake, and the Pièce de résistance strawberry shortcake made with homemade biscuits (using Ron's grandmother's to die for recipe.) for dinner. Bon Appetit!
