Lab Fest and How to Get Treats!

No, your eyes do not deceive you.   There are three black lab mixes in this picture.  We call it a Lab Fest.  I went on a business trip, and Tess and Otis spent the time with my ex and his one year old lab Stella.

Otis and Enzo, his cat brother (who actually really thinks he is a dog – he is my ex’s cat, but moved back in because he wasn’t happy without Otis and Tess).
I took Otis to a neighborhood pet store that opened near our house.   I wanted him to have a nice outing in the car that didn't involve the vet.   But he discovered something even better - Tripawds in a pet store get smothered in attention and TREATS.   And, when the word cancer is mentioned, the Tripawd gets even more TREATS and  lots of free samples!

Lots to Celebrate Today – Otis’ 5th Month Ampuversary

Big day today!   Not only is it Otis’ 5 month ampuversary, but both dogs have their check-ups with our family vet.   At one point, I didn’t think Otis would be around to have another annual check-up.   But even better, I had noticed a lump on Tess’ chest, and it turns out to be nothing more than a typical lab fatty lymphoma (sp?).   So, Otis is doing great, and Tess is doing great.   What a great day!

Lots of naps, but we did that before the amputation too!
