My expensive habit
This dog has been ridiculously expensive! Thank goodness he's well behaved and good natured, it makes me feel like I am getting my money's worth ;)
No really, though. This whole epilepsy thing means that he has to have bloodwork done every 6 months to a year, and he is scheduled for his initial bloodwork in a month. I am sick of giving the vet my money! I love little Oscar, but this is really getting to be a bit much. We have had Oscar just over two weeks and he has been to the vet 5 times. You can only imagine what that amounts to!
Other than getting nickle and dimed to death, life with a new dog has been pretty good. We bought baby gates this weekend to section off the downstairs so that he can hang out with us when we are home. The cats are slooooowly getting used to him. Floyd still runs away, but Jinx isn't really all that scared anymore.
What are you supposed to do with a dog on a rainy day? Do you take them for long walks even though its raining? Any tips from dog owners? I've never had one before, so I'm still learning. I've been having him go back to the back yard and come back in and get toweled off.
I finished another paper this morning which brings me just a little bit closer to finishing this semester. I'm looking forward to finishing the semester out and getting the summer stuff going. It's going to be a pretty big transition period since I will be moving my families around to fit my new summer schedule. Jered's sister is coming out to visit us sometime at the end of May or beginning of June, my grandma is coming to visit from Germany for graduation, and my friend Liz is also coming down for graduation. I will also be teaching a human sexuality class at a local community college starting May 22nd. It should be an interesting summer! Hopefully it will be a little bit of a break.
