The boys in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY48rrNhzBI
I discovered this huge lump on Roy's leg and took him to the Vet. She thinks it might be an insect/spider bite. He hates his e-collar, but needs to keep his mouth off his "hurt place." We are treating him with multiple drugs and hopefully, the swelling will go down!
The boys "made" Dad a Father's Day card, paw prints and all. Mom made him his favorite: Lemon Meringue Pie for dinner last night. This morning we had home made sticky buns. YUM, YUM!
This Spring has been a terrible year for pollen. I was constantly cleaning the "boogers" out of Andy and Roy's eyes. However, Roy's left eye seemed much worse. He had secretions running down the side of his face. When he didn't get any better, I took him to our local Vet. She prescribed steroids for a week. When we went back, there was no change, so off to a vet ophthalmologist. $300 poorer, we find he has a genetic condition called both corneal dystrophy or lipid keratopathy. He is on three medications at the moment to try and clear up the irritation in his eye. I think he will have to be on medication for the rest of his life. It is rare for this disease to cause blindness, so I am hoping we can keep it in check.
Because Phil was at the dentist and Andy has never been alone without Roy or one of us, I took Andy to the eye appointment too. When I put Roy up on the examining table, I told Andy to sit. He sat by my chair and DID NOT MOVE! He did not lie down or move a muscle the whole time Roy was being examined. The doctor said she wanted me to take her dogs home with me to train them. I told her, it wasn't so much my training, as Andy was scared to death he might be next!
The boys gave me a white/pink Hydrangea this year instead of my normal blue one. They couldn't find a really pretty blue one. I think this one is beautiful too.
It is snowing outside and we have Easter decorations out!!!??? Notice the Easter basket and eggs on the coffee table.
Often when I am on the computer, Andy will come and nudge me to "get up." He wants some LOVIN'! Tonight I took a picture of us on my Photo Booth on the computer. We are sitting in front of the computer and it takes the picture. Neat huh??!!
Do we cut the "dragging the floor" fur on Andy and Roy's chest or not? It is so pretty, but it gets so dirty!!!
I saw Bo Obama give Oprah a High Five and decided that Bo had nothing on my boys! I taught Andy in two lessons and Roy quickly caught on when a Greenie was the reward!
