Life with dogs - priceless!

It's off to the vet for me (and the dog) this morning. It's been a while, we're not there a whole lot. Mostly because it costs R120 just to look at the vet - never mind tests and medication and all that. Usually I'll wait a day to see if the beast comes right on his own, and more often than not he does.

But one of my dogs is not lekker. He's listless, sleeps all the time, hasn't had much to eat or drink. He did perk up a little for a walk yesterday, and managed to howl when I left - but I think I still need to get him to the vet. I picked a tick off him a few weeks back, and am hoping it's not tick-bite fever...

Generally the "life with dogs - priceless" refers to the great times we have with our pets. They're fun to have around, funny to watch, loving and always happy to see us. Today though, I get to fork out a bit of cash for the pleasure of being a pack leader. My Mastercard will be paying for "everything else".

Hope the poor canine recovers soon. I hate seeing him like this.
