Hi, this is Nili speaking as Mom is learning a lot about puppies from me as my Angel sister Layla was not a pup when she was rescued, and Mom has lots to learn.<\/p>\n

Mom took me to the vet for a check up on Tuesday, oy vey it was scary and me being stubborn refuses to travel in the back pack so I sat on the floor under her legs on the bus, I do not like busses but am learning, Mom was kind enough when there was space to pick me up and I stood on a seat looking out of the window which was fun. We walked from the stop to the Clinic which was great as I had lots of new smells to smell. Once we got inside, I rode the elevator to the waiting room and waited for my vet. When we were called into a room for my check up, I had a big accident with diarrhea oy vey, Mom was so embarrassed but the vet tech laughed and said to Mom accidents happen, cleaned it up plus put some in a test tube to check for parasites and heartworm. The Vet said I am very healthy, 2 lbs overweight which Mom is now working on. Mom also discussed me eating off the streets and the mud in the dog park, and of course the vet had a solution as you can see from the photo below. I do not like it but the guard is actually very helpful as it prevents me from getting foxtails also. I can drink water through it so Mom is happy, and my face is now packaged till I behave. It was not cheap, but Mom explained to me that it is cheaper than vet bills. I paid $59.00 for it from my local pet store.<\/p>\n

Can you believe I have to wear this to stay healthy, Nili<\/p><\/div>\n

Another thing the vet pointed out to me which I am so happy she did, is the LA Animal Control only gives one year Rabies shot so I have to get another in July, plus they only gave me one Distemper Shot and I should have two, so she gave me one while I was there, so I am now good to go till my next visit. She sent Mom home with a Puppy Pack of all information about puppies which is interesting and has taught Mom a lot plus some flea stuff as flea season has arrived.<\/p>\n

We have since gotten the results back on my tests and all is negative, so Mom is double happy BOL.<\/p>\n

Other than that, Nigel spent 8 days with us, Mom had a terrible cold, so between walking both of us daily and separately she was taking care of herself to get rid of the cold so we spent less time in the park but hopefully that will start happening again.<\/p>\n
