Damien…

Took Damien to the vet yesterday while Josh was at work.. and since Josh’s truck is 5 feet off the ground, I can’t lift Damien into it and had to put Damien in my mini. I tried to protect the seat with a huge comforter but Damien is a clutz in my car and was laying half on the floor with his paws on the seat.. then I ran into the vet first to make sure there were no other dogs and tell them I’ll wait outside cuz he’s dog aggressive and they said fine. By the time I got back to the car Damien was in my back seat! looking at me from the back window. Great. He acted very strange at the vet usually he’s all over people but he was super shy and climbing all over my lap. I brought his tennis ball with him to distract him from other dogs but even that he was not that interested in. They couldn’t find anything wrong with his breathing besides a whiz noise when he inhales which could be normal. His temperature was normal, so no pneumonia or fever. She gave me expensive antibiotics for him for the next 10 days and if there’s no improvement on Tuesday he goes in for X-Rays.

On the ride home he was just as clutzy.. I had the windows down so he wouldn’t drool on them (it was warm out too) and he somehow found a way to drool all over my side mirror with his head out the window. It took me a good hour and a half to vacuum out and clean all the drool and hair off of everything.

But Mandy is doing fantastic! She walks around all the time and begs at the table now.. not such a good habit. She comes to greet us when we come home too.. She’s in good spirits.
