HopeForHounds Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Finally, not an emergency visit. We just went for his regular checkup and shots. Great news, he is a very healthy 79 lbs. Miki was oohing at his thigh muscles and said the best thing we did for him was bring Peanut home. Miki has been our vet for all of Jake's life with us so she knew him pre Peanut. He is muscular, soft and shiny (thank you nutritional yeast) She thoroughly checked his eyes and was happy that there is no scarring from this past winter's corneal abrassion. He had his shots and Miki told him that was it until he was 13, that made me go my boy really is a senior. After she finished, she looked at the album I had brought to show one of the vet techs. It had Carla pups from my first visit to Casa de Lambert, baby Icee, Flippy, Tippy, Paisly, Jade, Bernard and Cowboy were only 6 1/2 months old. It was fun to look through them, a few of Katie the bloodhound, Cathie's friend's (and mine) foster bloodhound puppy and one of Mariah Anne's old girl plus stunning Commander Ray. The next batch were all of Baby's babies, that basket of puppies is priceless.
