Scooby-Doo

Scooby-Doo

Good evening all, Aimee here along with my “fat-faced-dog”, or as Barry calls her, “Scooby Doo”!  Yes, and believe it or not this photo was taken more than one hour later after a vet visit and a IV steroid injection!  Just imagine what she looked like when I picked her up on the trail?  Now, I understand you basically know the story; Barry and the dogs were on the trail working, I was at the Aquarium, and got this panicked phone call that said “we have an Indi emergency, you have to take her to the vet right now!”  Ok, now those are the words no pet owner wants to hear, especially this paranoid mamma.  At this particular time as well, our car was at the shop, so I was only on the bike.  I quickly dropped everything I was doing, begged a friend for the keys to her jeep and ran out of there.  Barry said her face was humongous and I was mostly worried about her air pipe becoming restricted from the swelling.  We were not sure what she got in to, either bees or ants, there are plenty of both out on the trail.  Well, when I picked her up her eyes were only slits, she could barely open them at all. So, I called the vet and met him at his clinic (on a Sunday morning), he checked her out and decided to give an IV injection and sent us home.  Barry kept an eye on her all day and by the next morning, she was back to new and looking for something else to get into! She is definitely our “busy one”, the next day actually the lid was left off the dog food bucket (little did Barry know), I came home an hour later and said, “hmmm, Indi sure looks bloated”.  Then I went upstairs and found the source!  Let’s just say there was lots of moaning and sleeping for her the rest of the evening.  Well, that is the dog saga for the week, she sure keeps us on our toes.  The adventures never end.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Although it’s almost Christmas, we are still barefoot!
