Today
Tuesday afternoon, I took Isabelle and Ebenezer to Deer Creek Animal Hospital for their annual checkups and booster shots. Ebenezer, who was 3.7 pounds last May and 5 pounds when he had his sterilization procedure, is now a whopping 13 pounds. Isabelle, who is a mere 7.4 pounds, had bloodwork done as she is approaching her fifth birthday. Issie hid beneath one of the kitchen chairs until early this morning. I'm guessing she didn't enjoy her visit to the good doctor.
Because I was shoehorned into a treatment room with two cats and two soft-sided carriers, I was unable to witness the veritable parade of companion animals and the occasional wild thing that frequent(s) my neighborhood animal hospital. It's a busy place in the mid-afternoon. By virtue of its location and the fact that has a large staff, Jefferson County Animal Control and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, bring injured critters to DCAH. Like many who live in the South Metro Area, I have seen both a fox and a coyote in my neighborhood.
One Year Ago
When I was a kid growing up, I loved to take our dog to the vet for that very reason, so funny to see the animals with their owners or in Boulder County "guardians."
ReplyDeleteI strive to be inclusive and PC - particularly when I write something. Still, I have no trouble with being called 'Kitty Mom.'
