she WILL be the death of me
How many adults does it take to draw 2ccs of blood from a four-year-old lab mutt named Belly Stinkbomb? FIVE. How many jars of baby food will be used as bribe? TWO. How many years is this dog going to cut from my life if she keeps getting worse at the vet? SEVENTEEN.
She's exhausted. I'm exhausted. Things used to be so much easier with her. But now she's scared to death of anyone at the vet coming anywhere near her. Muzzled and restrained, she's so damn pathetic. So now we're going to keep her on heartworm meds year-round so there'll be one less test to do each year.
Mother o' god.

well, at least the heartworm med is tasty and requires no effort on your part, except to put it on the calendar and watch your fingers...
Wow. Mei-mei got kind of used to the blood tests after a while, though she did protest a little yesterday. All I can say is rewarding Belly to a ridiculous extent after every trip might help...
she went directly from the vet's to the dog park, and there we stayed for TWO HOURS. So that was a ridiculous reward. Plus, two jars of baby food. YUM! Stinkeeeeee.
