- Cuba did very well at her spay appointment last Tuesday. Got spayed, nails trimmed, 4DX testing done (heartworm and Lyme negative!), and microchip installed. Awesome sauce. Vet tech said she was an awesome gal all day. No signs of any kind of anxiety while there. She was, however, ready to go home that afternoon, but super groggy - she was offered food and water when we got home, but all she wanted to do was sleep, and sleep she did, in my chair, all evening and all night.
- While she felt mucho better the next day, we were trying to take it easy. We had a small adventure when Cuba and I took the truck up to town to get a few things from the grocery store, and the trucks clutch decided to call it quits. Good thing my in-laws run a repair shop and wrecker service near by! My brother in law picked us up shortly after I called, and Cuba and I got our first ride in a rollback. We felt like we were so high in the air we were practically flying!
- Laid low the next few days. Getting spayed and riding in a rollback were enough for both of us:)
- Saturday came - we helped my mother-in-law with her grand opening of her new grooming and boarding facility for pups and kittehs (just a few miles down the road no less!). Cuba and Ringo went with me and both got to show off the new housing arrangements for all the guests that came by! Cuba did so well! She even got to play with the owner's dog, Hank, who also happens to be the most awesome Newfoundland ever (I think they're all pretty cool). Cuba even had a few people checking her out, thinking she might just be the addition to their family they had always dreamed of:) She is a gorgeous gal and so sweet:)
- Monday - Heartworm preventive for all this morning! Woo-hoo! Cuba and I had some serious errands to run in Bloomington! Took my car (even though the truck got the clutch fixed, I felt Cuba was doing so well in it, we might as well go with the more comfy option of the CR-V). We made 8 stops total that day (me getting out at each of them), with Cuba getting out at most of them, if nothing more than to stretch her legs. The shortest stop was about 15 minutes and the longest was Sams Club (of course) at about an hour. I HAVE to give her props on the temptation I gave her of sitting in the car with the Sam Club loot while I ran into another store - she absolutely did NOT touch a thing. And when she stays in my car, she hops in the front seat when I get out, and sits there. No pawing at the door or anything - maybe a bark to let me know she's waiting, but that's it. Got a quick video of her walking quite well on a leash while we got the car washed at the Honda dealership.
I was petting Ringo under our bed one night, and Cuba couldn't help but peer over to see what was going on:
Her and Ringo have really done well together (he's pretty popular with the ladies:):
Just a girl and her dog (when the girl and her hubby have told the dog repeatedly she can't be on the chairs right now since THEY wanted to sit in them:). She LOVES to have her ears rubbed......
And finally, the Weims chewing their bones, while the other pups looked on. They all look like they've been hooked up to chargers. So weird when it happens.
