Zoe's annual

[bill_schubert]

The girl is doing well.  She is also flat out crashed on my floor riding the Xanax wave.  I give her one before going to the vet to keep her calm.  It lasts a long time with dogs so she will be dopey all day.

The doc says she is healthy.  She suffers from the same allergies as do we all here in central Texas.  In her case she's been retching some as the drainage gets in her system but the doc says that is likely all it is.  Probiotics for a week or so to be sure her stomach stays in good shape.

She has lost 4 pounds which is a really big deal.  She is a little chunky still and I'll keep the pressure on to lose some more.  It helps with her arthritis.  But the doc says the arthritis is better also.  Yay, walks!

The doc also measured the bumps she has but they all seem to be OK so she did not even aspirate them but is only watching for another year.

She turns 12 on the Ides of March this year and is doing pretty well.  Rottweilers typically top out before they are 10 but Pitbulls live as long as 15.  The same longevity is true for Australian Shepards.    She is mostly made up of those three.  

She's had a lot of good care.  And walks.

I'm glad you take care of her so well. Makes my heart feel good.

She takes pretty good care of me too. I'm convinced that the way she makes me get up in the morning and walk has made all the difference in my cardiac and arthritis care.

yeah, Frida was just a puppy when I got cancer in 2011/2012. Peeing and pooping waits for no man so, she got me up every morning. Never planned to get her but, when I saw that puppy I knew I had to get her. Some times, I think there's an entity looking out for us.

Glad to hear she's doing well!
