harley at the vet's




harley survived his first vet visit since sharing mi casa, and i'm pleased to say he faired well, though my wallet didn't i'm afraid, and he's going thursday to have some bad teeth pulled. but aside from that, he's received a good bill of health. he's been micro chipped in case he pulls a houdini, had his nails clipped (thank the lord!), weighed (12.11 lbs), and otherwise updated with shots. the infection in his tooth means antibiotics each night which he hates but takes and then the surgery thursday. i also picked up something akin to advantage to help with ticks, fleas, etc. all told, he now officially costs more than my new dining room table which is still on order.

but i have to say he did the crate thing very well and actually was bugging to get back into it after his exam. he's been very mellow since returning home, which is kind of nice for a change. he seems very comfortable around the apartment and is currently sleeping with his hed snuggled into the goose down pillow in a gold fabric i adore.

the pictures posted in this note are harley hiding out at the vet's office, on the exam room counter behind the computer.

  2. Oh Harley - what a good boy. I'm impressed he did so well. Poor thing that he needs some teeth pulled, but I'm sure he will feel 100% once they are gone and go back to eating everything in sight.. lol I love seeing his pictures - still handsome as ever! We miss him, but so happy he is with you!
