One Sick Pup

So I have the BEST dog ever! I mean it - every where we go he is the star! Otis is the mascot for the boys baseball team, their favorite at the groomers, my dad tries to steal him every time he comes for a visit. It's crazy! He has made a great transition from the big "D" to Nashvegas. However, as luck would have it, he has come down with allergies. Last night was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. It was like he was speed! Running through the house, even the dark rooms which was unheard of, and barking. Let me just say that Otis and his 34 pounds does not go anywhere fast, and rarely puts for the effort to bark. So you can tell he fits in well with us lol!

So we were off to the vet first thing this morning. Come to find out - yep - allergies and a hot spot?? I was clueless. All I know is that he has one heck of a bald spot, which they shaved at the vet, and enough medicated powder on him for an entire football team. After one cortizone shot, ear drops, an antibiotic and 2 big bills, we were back on our way home. Of course he woo'd all the ladies and even the Dr. before he left. As well as marked his territory at least 6 times. So now I'm thinking Pet Insurance?? I thought that was just for old ladies with 100 cats. Hmmm...

What did you do last night?

I spent the night working on Tyler's Science Fair project. I'm not one to start early or plan ahead, so I was surprised at how well it turned out to have only really worked on it for 2 days. Tyler did do it himself and I did help him design the layout for his project board, but he did the rest. When I was walking through the gym looking at all the projects, I was pleasantly surprised to see that you could tell most of the kiddos did do the work themselves. No solar powered life forms, live electrical currents or any of the really good stuff I was hoping to see. lol! I think Ty did really well with his version of Polishing Pennies with household products. Who'd have thunk you could clean your coins with ketchup! (thanks Robin)

What was your favorite science project when you were a kid? I kinda thought the dancing spaghetti in the coke bottle was pretty cool myself.
