Baby Ayden was sleeping contently when I left to take our two dogs to the vet at 11:00 AM today. Little did he know of the trials and tribulations that would follow.
Both dogs needed to see the Vet for very different reasons. Mali--the11 year old 50 pound Beagle mix-- had been dragging her butt on the carpet for the last two days. Kato--the 100 pound 14 year old Black Lab--had been scratching his face and chest incessantly for the last week. After kissing Ayden goodbye, I took both dogs to the car.
Kato chose to ride in the passenger seat until his back legs gave out and he ended up in the noodle position--half on the seat and half on the floor. He was unable to right himself so I found myself holding his head up since neither of us could right the wrong. With one hand on Kato and the other on the wheel, I looked into the rear view mirror and much to my dismay, Mali was dragging her butt across the seat of my car. While screaming at the top of my lungs for her to stop, and holding Kato steady, we trudged on.
Finally, we arrived at the Vet--visited with the Doc--and cashed out. 5 medications and $350 later, the geriatrics headed home. When we arrived at home, I found Ayden, sleeping with Pooh, oblivious to the world.
