The Girls



Rather than go into all of the reasons Alec didn't go to school, again, I will start with the girls. It was the annual vet visit yesterday. Both girls got shots. Aspen is in awesome shape for a 5 year old German Shepherd, not overweight, and doing really well... even with her false hip. Her hip was replaced in 2004 and after it seemed she was doing great, a few months later her body rejected it. So, in 2005 she had her hip taken out. That means her hip area grows cartilage to form a false hip. She had to get a couple of shots, but overall a great visit! Yahoo.

Kassie also had a good visit. Although there is no vision in her one eye (not that it was expected) she is quite healthy overall. Good weight, good heartbeat and such. She does need to have her teeth cleaned. So, she got a couple of shots along with some blood drawn for the bloodwork before her teeth cleaning. That will be done in 2 weeks. So, $230 gone.... I should have been a vet instead of a math teacher! LOL

We went to the gym as a family again last night. Hopefully this is going to be a habit. That would be good. Alec won't do much, but complain, but even if he walks on the treadmill at 1mph that is better than nothing... so we are making him go, even if he doesn't want to. He could just sit in his room 24/7 and play games and watch TV. But, we are going to do the right thing, dang it, even if it kills all of us! (Which some days it feels like it might).

Have a great Wednesday.
