Zorro kept licking on his right leg all day Sunday and Sunday night.
He also kept scratching because it itched. He managed to get it infected so Cassie and Zorro visited the Vet on Monday morning. Zorro is being a little trooper about having to wear a "cone collar" for the next two weeks so he won't itch the area and make it worse.His "Furmom" is giving him his antibiotics and putting antibiotic ointment on his sore. He gets to have the cone off for awhile for eating and drinking, just when you think you can trust him he goes right back to itching the area!
Cassie was so scared at the Vet office.She wouldn't even walk across the floor to get weighed. She met a new friend, a nice lady that let her up on her lap and gave her snuggles. Cassie didn't think her "Furmom" was helping her to escape seeing the Dr. for her blood test!
She lost her safety zone when the lady went to get her dog. It took the Vet and two helpers to draw the blood for Cassie's heartworm test! Even getting lots of treats didn't comfort her! Zorro got lots of treats too and they both got their heartworm pills. Theyt hought they were another treat since they are Beef flavored.
They also liked riding in the car on such a nice day! Cassie liked looking out the window but was really glad to finally be home again!

Fun in the sun!
Since the weather has been so warm the last two days Cassie and Zorro have been spending more time outside having fun in the sun!
Cassie loves to dig holes in the front yard and picks up all kinds of good doggie smells. She tries to chase squirrels, deer and wild Turkeys. I have been taking Zorro out and he finds a nice sunny spot to lay and soak up the sun. He has fun kicking the dirt all around and toddling around the yard. He has been talkative while we have been outside barking and snorting away. Cassie likes to bark at people riding bikes and walking by.
Looks like they have Spring Fever and will have alot of fun in the sun this Spring and Summer!

The fight over the Blue bone
Cassie is always very gentle with her best buddy Zorro because of the size difference.
She is good about sharing her toys too, except for one that she thinks of as hers and hers alone, her Blue bone. It's her favorite toy, a rubber Blue bone that I fill with treats to keep her busy.
Since the weather was nice today, Cassie spent alot of the day outside. Since there are alot of large birds of prey and other large animals that could hurt Zorro he can't be outside alone like Cassie can. He spent the day inside happily following his furmom around the house, until he found the Blue bone! I thought it was empty until I heard his little nort nort sounds that he makes, he was trying to get his little nose in the hole to get to the Milkbones inside! When Cassie came in I heard Zorro snarl and bark at her, he had the Blue bone by him and wasn't going to let it go. Cassie growled back at him, picked it up and ran through the house with it in her mouth like she won a trophy!
Since there was a fight "furmom" had to step in and take the Blue bone away for awhile. I will give it back to Cassie later on, she's laying down beside me pouting right now. I know she will be happy to get it back, Zorro will have to watch it! I tried giving him a rubber Kong but he won't touch it. Maybe because he always likes big dog toys and this Kong is his own size.
