canine

Some days just start out so wrong. Last night we noticed Annie was doing a strange contortionist routine with her tongue. Last time I saw this odd type movement and behavior it was when my dear Buddy had caught what he thought was a ball thrown by neighborhood kids years ago. What they in fact had tossed at him was a rock. One broken canine the result of their mean deed.
.
When a canine is broken it has to be fixed. In dogs the hole will not fill up resulting eventually in an abscess that moves to the brain. Years ago Buddy had a root canal and cap – back then we scrapped together the bucks and he was a faithful companion till the age a 17.
.
So of course I am freaking out. Yep, Annie had broken a tooth but thankfully it was a molar. Much simpler. They just pull it. And it cost just as much as years ago the root canal and cap cost. Nothing goes down in veterinary costs it goes up.
.
We left her at the vet this afternoon and came home with just Mr. Catfish. First thing in the morning we will go pick her up. This evening she is doing super and they may give her dinner. Last time we saw her her was running down the hall of the vet with a embarrassed vet tech assist chasing. LOL we told her that Annie was Houdini in disguise.
.
Mr Catfish is concerned. He won’t get caught pouting but he misses Annie. I mean what is the fun of sneaking downstairs with your royal orb of fuzz if Annie is not there to try and steal it? I am kind of sulking too as I realize that there is no need to sneak a few popcorn pieces on the way upstairs to the wookie dog (Annie).
.
The real fun money thing was that the dog antibiotics for the next two weeks were way cheaper at the pharmacy than at the vets. Go figure drugs on the cheap for dogs!
.
Now, more figuring out how to pay off more credit card dept!! AUGH. But you know my doggies are worth every penny and then some.
