Check Up with the Vet

This morningto took Frankie to the vet for his post-op check up.  After peeing on all the landscaping Frankie was weighed (58 lbs) and we waited to see the vet.  Well I waited, Frankie took a nap.  I guess peeing on shrubs requires a lot of energy.  Dr. Thomas looked Frankie over and gave him a clean bill of health.  He advised me to watch Frankie’s weight to make it easier on his remaining legs.  No more stuffing antibiotics and pain pills down Frankie’s throat…that makes both of us happy.  The vet told me he just had an annual visit with a black lab mix that he had to remove the front paw when the pup was under a year old due to an injury.  That lab is now 12 years old and is still energetic.  I am still amazed at the number of tripawd pups out there.  And no one seems to think they are sad or depressed.  Happy Wednesday everyone!
