Rockers Roars Back!

He's back!  Janet and Phil were so worried about him.  Rockers stopped eating on Sunday and for four days did not eat, got up twice a day to go outside to go to the bathroom, and then slept the rest of the day.  Phil took him to the vet twice.  First visit, Dr. Smith said Rockers had a very high temperature, so they gave him an injection of antibiotics.  Next day, his temperature was back to normal, but still wouldn't eat.

Noodles was feeling really bad, so she went to keep Rockers company while he was so sick.

I got your back bro'...hang in there!

The dinner he doesn't want, which is his favourite Sick Puppy Dinner made of cooked ground beef, cottage cheese and cooked rice.  Janet was so absorbed with Rockers illness she neglected to vacuum up that big pile of dog fur next to the nylabone!

When Phil took Rockers back to the vet for the second visit, he required a urine sample.  Thus, a new tool, The Canine Urine Sample Kit was born....patent pending!

He was pretty excited about this.  It's a thin piece of metal with a pill bottle duct taped on the bottom.  Janet said WTF, but when Phil asked her if she was prepared to get her hand peed on, she graciously declined.

And, action!

Turns out, I, Pashy also had to go to the vet.  Janet noticed I smelled funny one day.  Karen was over the next day enlightening Janet on what minky cloth was and Karen agreed about the odour.  Karens' thought was an unexpressed anal gland as their "dog share program" Lola had the same smell and Dr. Ken addressed the anal gland.  Oddly enough, he declined to do mine!  No matter, as it turns out I have a bad infection.  Now I also need to take antibiotics and have cream applied.  This was initially a huge struggle as it took three people to hold me down at the vet to clean it out.  It doesn't hurt so much now, so I am as cooperative as could be.

Janet took me to Uplands Park on Wednesday.  Check out Milly, my new BFF.  Millys' handlers are John and Sheri whom Janet used to work for.  She is four months old, really friendly and as cute as a button.

Janet and Phil were super excited - Rockers joins us in the kitchen and actually wants to eat dinner.
