YOUR DOGS, CATS & Other Domestic Fauna - Cute, sad, buff or silly

Lmao. Ok so shouldn’t be asking the city folk. ;)

600 total. Unless I get her a onesie and not a cone.

It used to be 200 around here.

Anything for my most beautiful child.
We drive 90 miles one way to see a rural ranch vet that is old school. No post initial required puppy shots are mandatory. No excessive fees. The last visit she was $2700 less than we were quoted from local office.

So worth the drives.
 
My little Angel is now 6 months old. She is huge. So I called her vet to schedule her to get spayed.

I have always been a boy dog owner. Not sure why.

Guess the price they are charging for spaying her.
Try your local rescue leagues. Ours provides low cost spay/neutering services. And the Vets providing the service, are the local ones who have their own for profit practices.

True story: back in the day, our neighbor was a vet. She did our cat on our kitchen table. We “paid” with dinner. Not the cat. To be clear.

The local spca charges 180 and is half a mile from my house. I couldn’t find a local vet (including the one Ted E goes to - I have been a client since 1989 - they aren’t taking new dogs). So I went out of town to the place where the breeder went.

I liked them a lot. I should have called for pricing - I scheduled it before I knew. I would hate to lose a good get over a few hundred bucks.

Rainy day doing errands with the pups. Mrs Stealth is in Target, so you know it’s going to be a long wait. That’s why they ride along to keep me company.

But I see the thought balloon saying, “But Dad, we could cruise the dog toy and snack aisle, maybe check out a new comfy bed. And think of the hoomans we would impress with our good looks and refined behavior.”
 
A peaceful moment, just back from a walk around the USNA Yard on a cool, sunny, breezy perfect Annapolis morning. Even the mids looked happy running outers along the sea wall.

No faces, just showing off glossy coats and muscles in morning sun. Add in a bit of ladylike snoring by seal brindle Mandy in foreground. She drags that old towel out of her bed anywhere she wants to nest up a bit. I find it in the oddest places.

Much more majestic than USNA’s squirrels 🐿️
I didn't photo the wild turkeys...a classmate mentioned they might be mistaken for members of one of the four reunion classes...
(but they were really neat, about a dozen in a gathering)
