Saturday, oh Saturday

Well this weekend was interesting for me to say the least. I had a bunch of errands to run, not the least of which was getting my dogs their shots. Every year there is one day in the spring that a vet donates their time and gives shots to all comers, so for $27 I was able to get rabies shots for all 3 of my dogs. When I take them to a vet for a visit it normally runs over $100, so I try to catch this special day. This year it was on 4/14 from 1 PM till 4 PM at the mill.

Everything went smoothly, my dogs didn't fight with the pit bull in front of the line or with the 3 silky terriers behind me in line! Felt pretty good about it and ran home to clean the house a bit before Kim arrived. Well after Kim left, around 10:00 PM I was getting ready to go to my second job when I felt a paw on my leg, normally the dogs just want attention when they know I'm getting ready to leave, but when I looked down, I saw:

And I realized I had to call in or possibly lose my pup. I've posted the rest of the images on flickr, if you want to see, the title of this article is the link. So I gave her a Benadryl and then 4 hours later more. By 6 AM she got her last one and was looking and feeling like her old self again.

I've been told that the rabies shot normally does not cause this reaction, and the other two of mine had no reaction at all. Don't know what caused it.

Anyway Peace,
