And..

ELL THAT WAS FUN....NOT. 

So on the 23rd as the sign said, the mobile vet would be at the IGA parking lot, got dogs groomed sprayed some smell good cologne on them and away we went...vet never showed up!

Pulled my phone out to check their website, date on sign was wrong..

So had to pack dogs up again today and got the chore done...

POOR Floss, she fell off the ramp on her way out of the van because she got so excited when other dogs were unloaded right by our door, and I was trying to hold onto Annie who was already out she came down first but Floss just couldn't do it without more help than I gave her so down she went and she was no good the rest of the time. She could barely walk Im sure she turned her leg on the way down...and then she "sit fell" two more times when they had to weigh her and when I got her off the table...

Just horrid experience for her, IM so worried about this camp trip.  She has not even come inside yet she is still laying out in the yard just snoozing in her favorite spot.  Annie was fine as normal.  

So I got their shots taken care of and their heartworm Blood test was negative, and they will get a box of Heart Guard in the mail...they don't carry it with them for some reason anymore...Guess I can call and have another box mailed in 3 months...

It is very cool inside but it got warm outside.  I worked on more Van prep stuff when we got back, and now I'm inside done for the day making some lists of what I need for my food purchase for the trip.  I am to supply 3 components for the evening meal.  So I got Wild Rice with Couscous for one meal...I will make a Seafood salad using imitation Crab Meat. And for the 3rd I will do my twice done potato. 
I will precook it at home and make my seafood salad before leaving and keep it in the fridge till time to pack the food. 

I have decided I will take my Pop up shelter with the screen room for the dogs, this way I can bring them out into the room and tie them there and not bring her in and out the van each time they need to go pee...Of course when we go to do the birding we have planned they will stay in my sisters camper if we will be gone longer than an hour or two at the most...

Tomorrow I need to work on getting some Christmas boxes prepped for them to take back to CO with them this way I won't have to mail any packages!! It will be SUPER simple.  I got some nice faux  fleece cozy socks for the sisters, and I will come up with something for my BIL, and put a little gift card in each box.  There's some really sturdy and cute gift boxes at Dollar General and the box makes a great gift also to store things in, I have several of those boxes in my closet, and in my storage cabinets with old photos and Greeting cards I've received thru the years that I want to keep so it's a gift in and off it's self.  I had wanted to handmake my Cards, but I won't have time. I have plenty of store bought cards anyways but I am handmaking their Birthday cards in fact I already have those done and one was given back on Oct 1. 

Well I hope Floss can recover, and now my back is hurting after lifting them up on the table, I did ask the vet if he could prescribe her a pain med he said no they can only prescribe preventative meds at the mobile clinics, so I would have to bring her in, but I will just do that at my regular vet, she has not been to see the regular vet since she tore that ACL back in whatever year it was. Been several years actually.  My other sis has already said her dog Jimmy will not going on any more pleasure trips it's too hard for him he had diabetes, and he had eye surgery and the change in elevation affects his eye pressure. 

I will be happy to have the trip behind me, I am looking forward to spending time with my sis...and then getting the girls safely back home.
