Nuthin' doin'

So the vet assistant gave us some pointers on how to hold Gwennie down- cradle her neck/head firmly in the bend of your arm and use your other arm to pin her against your body.  And hold her until she stops fighting, otherwise she'll be rewarded for struggling.  Except with pugs, their airway is already partially constricted, so if she struggles too much, we have to let her go so she doesn't suffocate.  We've got us a little high-maintenence doggie.  But anyway, we've been doing that and she's gotten a little better in the last couple of days.  We have to stick this cleaning solution in her ears and swab them out once a day, and then inject some antibiotic into both ears twice a day.  It seems like it's working so far.  We have another appt on Friday to check the progress.  Now we are playing fetch and tug of war on my lunch break.  Cuuuuuuuuute.  Geoff is really excited to do the training classes.

That's really all there is.  Gosh I feel like my blog is so boring lately.  I want to write about stuff, but just nothing is really going on.  That's okay though.  It's good, actually.

You two are going to be masters at parenting when that happens with all these doggy doctor appointments and ear drops and everything!
