Public Enemy Number One: The Vet

Coco was so happy this morning, full of energy and affection as she always is. She is excited when she gets to go out of the house with us. This morning she happily jumped into her travel carrier so she could go in a car ride with me to wherever I was going. Once she realized that my destination was the vet she immediately started shaking and shivering. She has now realized that the vet is not a place of fun. The malls are fun; the vet is nothing but unhappy thoughts. She shook the entire time we were there and I felt bad that I had to leave her there.

Coco is now under anesthesia getting some baby teeth pulled. Yes, baby teeth. I spoke with the vet and there's a chance she has to get doggy ortho work done. O.o Holy smokes! No one ever told me there is a such thing as doggy braces. Lordies, now I understand why people spend, on average, $700 annually on their pets. I dread braces for my own kids and now I find out that dogs can get them too? O.o I need to start a doggy donation fund so that my puppy can have braces -- now how crazy does that sound?
