Kodie and Echo have quickly found their way with each other. One thing that we are trying to work with Echo on is getting on the couch! His Royal Highness is used to laying all over the furniture and in this home, that isn’t allowed. This morning Echo tried to crawl into Mike’s lap when he was in his chair. Now, if Echo was a 10 pound dog, that would be one thing- but he weighs 90 pounds and the vet said that he is about 25 pounds underweight! I agree because you can feel his ribs, his back bone and tail bone are also protruding. So, we will continue to work with him and let him know that furniture is a no dog zone. Shame on his previous owner though, she didn’t obedience train him, train him to walk on a leash. Supposedly she has had him since he was 7 weeks old, so my question would be, what the heck did you do with him besides teach him that furniture is a lovely place to lay on?

I had to go back to the dentist yesterday. The tooth extraction site got infected so it isn’t healing correctly. It’s another round of antibiotics and pain pills till this clears up. Man! And I thought vets were expensive! They wanted the money up front so there goes the food budget for the next two months. But at least, the animals will eat! 🙂
