So sorry Millie

I found out in Iowa dogs HAVE to get parvo/distemper vaccines and Millie didn't have hers so we took her today. This was all because I want to get her groomed before the weekend trip up to Pine City, MN to see David's grandparents. I got a last minute appointment at a very nice vet called Tender Care. Well I'll just cut to the chase...she got a finger up her ass. The End. No actually that did happen and her glands got excreted but then she got her vaccine. She was so calm and quiet on the trip home which never happens that I was so glad( and selfish )to not have her panting LOUDLY on me. We got home and my calm little pup harfed everywhere a lot. So I called the vet and they said bring her back she is having a reaction. By this time I'm thinking about how I heard Dr. Oz having a debate about vaccines and autism and what I would do with an autistic dog. Take her to the casino to count cards? I think not. At the vet they gave her a steroid shot and some benadryl. She is fine having sweet dreams of steak and butts. And she still has an appointment at the groomer tomorrow. I just can't stop torturing her this week.
Speaking of torture the anti depressant hasn't started working yet. I was pretty sure it would work instantly for me. Maybe I am optimistic after all. But alas it is probably going to take a few more weeks. To get a good gage on how I'm feeling I can tell you even shopping isn't making me feel better and I can't even drink an iced anything. That's bad. But Halloween is coming and I am excited about that because that means Halloween purchases. And friends are coming to visit. Two friends in two weeks. Yeehaw.
I highly recommend the Beware candle from the yankee candle company PS. It smells great.
This has been a really great post we laughed, we cried, and we talked about buying things.
