Long weekend and Kodi

Having a nice long weekend was very nice. Max had both Friday and Monday off. We took off to her mom's on Saturday to hang out and visit (early birthday for her mom's 1/24 BD). We had an adventure on the way home as we decided to drive over to Arnold and check out a place that we have vacation reservations. Where was the GPS when you need it?????? We were in her car which does not have the direction OnStar and we got very lost. The positive part of the adventure is that we had plenty of gas, water, full tummies and were driving around in some REALLY beautiful areas. We eventually found where we wanted to be and checked out the area and then headed home.

Today the week started over and it started with Kodi and I at the vet's yet once again. Whatever is going on with Kodi and his feet seems to be attached to allergies. He will now be taking human benedryl morning, noon and night. Since he is such a big guy he will be taking 12 pills a day! I also went to the pet store and bought him some booties for his big old feet. It is going to be a pain, but he will have to wear them when he goes out in the back yard to keep his feet dry and the grass pollen off. I am going to have to dedicate myself to taking care of shaving the fur from between his pads and toes and make sure that he keeps his feet dry all the time. Poor guy cried at the vet like we were killing him so she could get cultures from his little (big) toes. I am hoping that finally our $200 monthly vet bills will come to an end.

Later . . .
