Mark took Rocky over to the vet this morning. We wanted them to check him over good, run blood tests and the whole nine yards. He's had some digestive problems over the last week so we wanted to be darned sure there was nothing really wrong with him! Gracie, Niki, and Ben all started out having digestive difficulties so any accident in the house is bound to send us straight to the vet with the culprit for the foreseeable future!
Anyway, they did a complete blood workup, checked him for parasites, etc. etc. Nothing. He has absolutely nothing wrong that they can determine. So they prescribed some sort of digestive enzymes or some such thing (Mark is picking it up now - not sure what it is yet) and we'll just have to make sure he goes out more frequently for a while, I guess. I am soooo relieved that there's nothing seriously wrong with him.
Of course, Rocky may not feel that's true. He lost Niki, who had FINALLY settled down and stopped being such a pain in the butt, only to end up with Joey, who may actually be even more of a pain than Niki was!
No. On second thought, at least Joey does NOT think racing full speed and slamming into Rocky is great fun, as Niki did for so many years. That HAS to be an improvement.
So ---- as far as we know, everyone in the house is healthy, it's a gorgeous day, the new dog yard is being fenced, and tomorrow we're all going to see South Pacific. John's dog, Khayenne, is in it as the sidekick of sailor, Luther Billis. That should be fun.
Looking forward to a really nice weekend!
