Annual Check-Up 2012

Yesterday I went to see the vet for my annual check-up and it was anything but normal. I was fine when I left the house, but when I actually got into exam room, I started squinting my left eye. My eye was really red too and Mommy couldn't figure out why I was doing this. I was just being a good boy and waiting until I actually got to the vet to show that I was in pain. Why should I have done it before? That would just be silly!

Here I am waiting for the vet to come in. Sadie was a good girl while she waited too!

I got my check-up first and my weight was normal, temperature was normal (although I don't really enjoy having a thermometer put in where the sun don't shine), and ears looked normal. My Mommy brought up my problem with my allergies and how the Benadryl wasn't working as well as it used to. She suggested that, at some point, we would want to see an allergy specialist to get tested to find out exactly I am allergic to. Until we are able to do that though, she suggested bathing me 3 times a week to see if that helps my skin at all. I am not looking forward to it. I mean, a bath more than once a month! I hate baths, I hate baths, I HATE BATHS!


Next the vet checked my eye because she was a little concerned about how red it was and that I was squinting it so much. Mommy said, "Oscar, why are you squinting your eyes now? They are going to think I don't care for you and notice these thing!" Sorry mom, but I only show pain when I'm in the exam room at the vet office. After looking at my eyes, she is very concerned about the one I didn't want to open. She took a pressure test in both my eyes and they were a little high. Not high enough to be glaucoma, but it is probably heading in that direction. She ordered a blood draw to make sure there are not any underlying causes for this. She also wanted to see me again today. I'm hoping that today will go a little better. For now, I am on 2 eye drop medicines and Rimadyl.


Sadie's check-up went much better! She is healthy and the only concern the vet had about her was that one of her teeth has some root exposure, but I am the top priority right now.

Photo Caption Friday!

This week was harder to choose a caption. There wasn't really one caption idea that stood out from the others. This makes my job tough because then I really have to get thinking about which idea fits the picture best. Here it is!

Photo Caption Friday!

This week has been super busy and I have had hardly any time to think! Working on the scrapbook project took up most of the time. I did have time to post a Caption It picture though. Lots of suggested captions came in, but only one stood out to me and Mommy. It might have something to do with the fact that Mommy really loves "The Lord of the Rings" movies, it could be that it just fit, or maybe both. So with that said, here it is!

Photo Caption Friday!

I loved this weeks photo because it had so much potential! There were 3 animals in the picture and that leaves rooms for many caption ideas. We got lots of good captions and Mom and I had to decide which ones to use. It was just by chance that we were able to have a caption for each animal in the picture! So, here it is.

Now for the captions:

Our Project: Part 2

Well, the first part of our project was getting pictures for our scrapbook we are making for our friend with cancer. It was a major success! We got tons of emails with pictures, well wishes, and advise from those who have had cancer. It was so amazing to see how many people care enough to take time out of their day to send pictures to a woman who really needs the cheering up right now.

We didn't realize exactly how many pictures we had until we got them printed. With my friends telling their friends, we recieved over 200 photos! That is just amazing! Our job now is to match the pictures with the emails we got. It's going to be a big job, but Mom and I can handle it.


Here are all the pictures.

These are the emails and well wishes that need to be matched up with the pictures

Mommy and I are going to be very busy for the next few days!

2013 calender

Yahoo! My 2013 calender is finished and will be for sale by the end of the week! Mom ordered one after she created it, but before it went up for sale, to make sure that it looked good. It looks great! Here's a sneak peek at a few of the months.

Photo Caption Friday!

I have to admit that I really loved the picture for this week. It was me putting my little paw on Cinnamon Spice's head during one of our cuddle times. I was very curious to see how many people would caption it. There were 16 caption ideas and all were very good. One really stuck out to me and it's probably because Cinnamon Spice is always talking about World Domination by cuteness. It just fit really well.
