Poor Baxter!!


Well Baxter ate one of my girls socks,(again) and it some how caused an infection that was in his neck and it was as big as a baseball. So the vet had to go in and put a tube in his neck so it would drain all the infection out.. And now Randy's dog is mad at me because I was the one who took him to the vet. So poor Baxter has to wear the tube until Monday. And he also expects everyone to carry him around.. So now the girls get mad at me if I don't pick him up to carry him to the car for a rides And he wants us to carry him out side to go the bathroom.. So yea fun stuff.
I hope my girls have learned that they need to pick up there socks!!
Oh yea he did throw up the sock and it scared me to death because I thought it was his liver or something it did not look like a sock.. going to the vet was not cheap. I could not believe the prices of everything I looked at the bill and I was like Does he need that? Why does the bottle cost 30.00?
Can I go to all a dollar and pick up a bottle? Don't get me wrong I love the dog but I was shocked at what they charge for everything. I did get them to take 200.00 off the bill for things I felt like he dint really need.. So any ways the bill was still a lot of money.. So word to the wise dont let your dog eat socks.

Michele- you made me laugh out loud when you said he threw up a sock and you thought it was his liver!!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha. Animals can be very expensive! Can't wait to see you next week and hang out!

I have a better idea.
Just don't own a dog!
Just kidding I like dogs but they sure do cost a lot.
That & I hate cleaning up after them, I'm the biggest reason why we don't have a dog right now.
I hope he gets better soon though.
