The Vet

Just got back from the vet. $173 was the total. I gave them my card for a "free office visit" and that knocked it down to $123. Prescriptions for kennel cough, tapeworms, and a cough suppressant that's supposed to make her sleepy. Despite the cost though, I'd never give Rose back. That's how I know I have the right dog for me.

I'm hoping with her medicine, she'll sleep a bit more through the night, allowing me to sleep more through the night.

Last night I awoke to her around 11pm, but went back to sleep. I also awoke to a hissing sound from my breather. I'm pretty sure the humidity was up to high, and that's why I was getting a whistling sound. I'll have it lower tonight. I resisted the urge to get up at 3 when she wanted me to, but as I had to go, I thought she prolly would too. I did finally end up sneaking in another hour's sleep after that.

It was as I was getting ready for work this morning that I saw them on the bed. Little, dried, pasta thin granules. All over the place where Rose'd slept. Doing some research, I found out they're dried segments of tapeworm. Joy. not-

I had the creeps all day from it, and finally changed her vet appointment from Saturday to tonight.
