Sixteen Miles to the Vet via 1-75

 


It's a bit of a drive from my home, especially when I-75 resembles a slow-moving parking lot.

 It's worth the drive.  My Sarasota Vet recommended this practice  when dear Zion had a growth on one of his molars. He had surgery and an overnight stay. All was well.

He eats it with the highly rated NUTRO kibble

I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
