Well, Elsie went to the vet yesterday. She is really good in the car. Doesn't try and jump up in the front, waits until you open the door to get out of the car. She kind of growled at a person who was going to come in the vet (he wouldn't come in the lobby, he waited- thank God. The vet tech said that dog was 90 lbs and I couldn't understand the rest of what she said..) Anyway. Elsie gained 3 lbs since last year and has to go on a diet. 😒 I was like, "Yeah don't we all?" Gimme a break. And one of her teeth has a little chip in it, try to tone down the frisbee play. OMG.... (Yeah, I can't even afford to go to the dentist?...) And she had a tick on her. ??? Yeah, that's literally why I'm here? We have ticks all over our back yard, and I pulled three off her the day before. UGH... All that (which was what? She looked at her, felt her looked in her ears and at her teeth, gave her three shots) cost almost $300 and I only got one flea and one heartworm pill each. SHEESH!!! This is why I can't take Jaxson... I don't remember us EVER taking our animals to the vet when I was a kid. We couldn't even go to the doctor, ourselves. It's ridiculous. Who can even afford groceries now, let along take their animals to the vet.. I feel like, it's not enough to feed your dog, brush them, and love them, and play with them; you have to monitor their play and brush their teeth check them for ticks (I do that), they need to have their blood tested, their poop[ tested, give them all these pills so they can be around other dogs, measure their food every day (do you know how hard it is to keep track of that with two dogs, and they keep going to each others food bowls and you have each one measured out different?)... It's just a crooked money making scheme. And now I'm irritated. LoL
Anyway, here's a recipe for doggie ice cream treats. Now that Elsie is on a diet, I'll have to use "fat free" yogurt and peanut butter.. (Where is the eye rolling emoji??) I made some treats in the ice cube tray for them last summer. I think it was similar to this one. I know I used banana and peanut butter.
Why did the chickens cross the road? I don't know, but when I was coming home from the vet, a chicken ran across the road in front of me. I had to slam the brakes on. Then I noticed there was a bunch of them on the other side of the road. This is just a couple houses down from us. They shouldn't just let their chickens run free like that, someone is going to hit one. And if they come down to our yard, Elsie will kill one for sure. It's all clucking crazy. 🐔
