you might have heard walk but we meant vet. ..

daisy went to the vet today for her regular check up. she hates going to the vet- i don't blame her- we kind of hate taking her to the vet. we have to drop her off in the morning and she spends all day there. i got a call in the late afternoon saying they were done but the vet nurse had a few things to go over with me. first of all, daisy has gained weight since the last time she was at the vet. then she said daisy's ears were gunky and we need to clean them. she also said daisy's teeth had a lot of build up on them and she was surprised there was so much considering daisy had her teeth cleaned in february. 

sooooo- we are bad puppy parents. before you pass too much judgement on us- at least we take her to the vet on a regular basis! when i think about it, daisy has access to better health care than the majority of americans. she is current on all vaccinations, her weight is watched and maintained (when i got the weight from the vet, she was only .2 pounds heavier), her teeth are checked and cleaned once a year, she gets blood work done once a year and she sees the vet at least twice a year. how many people out there can say that about their own health? hmmmmm. . .??? 

speaking of health- i ended up canceling on game night- i got really bad heartburn after dinner. i've had it twice since i had maria. is this a post- pregnancy thing or am i just getting old(er)? my lactose intolerance has also returned. i happily enjoyed all the milk and cheese and ice cream i could eat while i was pregnant without any digestive consequences. my doctor said it probably wouldn't last after i had maria- she was right. i guess i need to get pregnant again. . . hahahah!

here's a maria pic!
