Now she can go to the dog park

You know how sometimes you take the dog to the vet for a simple rabies vaccination, and end up $200 in the hole because of all the other stuff that needed to be done that you didn't realize until you got there and talked with the doctor? Yeah, well that happened to me this morning. As I said, simple rabies vaccination. But then, let's add the Bordetella, Parvo and Distemper boosters. Then the year's worth of heartworm medication. Then the microchip.
I'd be irritated, but it was all stuff that was necessary, and besides, now we don't need to be back in the office for a year. And with this puppy, that is a HUGE incentive to paying a lot this morning!
Of course, Oliver is due for some vaccinations and his yearly wellness exam next month, and then we'll have to get his heartworm medication, and yes, he'll be getting a microchip, too. So minus a couple twenty dollar increments, next month will be an expensive one at the vet as well.
Again, I don't complain about these expenses, because really, these dogs are frickin' awesome, and totally members of the family, so their health is paramount.
Fun facts about Daisy:
She now weighs, wait for it, 17 pounds, 4 ounces. That's quite a ways from the 3-pound fluff we brought home in August!
One of her sutures from her surgery still hasn't dissolved, and it could take up to six months for it to go away.
She yelps before being stuck by the needle, but can be easily distracted by that weird goopy treat stuff squirted onto the exam table.
She's crazy aggressive, like a shark, when given a plate of wet food. (Not vet related, but still, a fact about her I wanted to include.) Really, she's like a shark. And not a nice, sand-dwelling shark or anything. She's like a great white, or a tiger shark, or a mako, or a really angry hammerhead.
