The Snip Clinic had 65 dogs signed up to be neutered. They were very busy getting everyone registered, I saw lots and lots of dogs, some big, some little even a few very tiny ones. Someone had a t-shirt special made for their dog. It said "I got my nuts off at Hooters", I don't know what I was thinking but I was very shocked that someone would put that on their baby, I was thinking a human baby. It was a small t-shirt and I assumed it was a onesie. Duh it was for the dog! I have big dogs so we don't dress them. Oh, except that one time but I don't think Starsky would want me to talk about that. They had a few drawings while we waited in line. I won a Hooters leash and bandanna .
They offered other services at reduced rates too, so I had Starksy micro-chipped. It only cost $15.
I left my dog in the good hands of the snip clinic folks, and planned to pick him up the next morning (Sat.) back at Hooters. Well, I got a call early Saturday morning saying that Starsky had ripped everything open during the night, now they had to stitch him up again. He ended up staying until Monday morning. Boy was he ready to go home! They said he was a very sweet dog but not happy at all to have been there. I bet he barked and never stopped. Here are a few of the dogs waiting to be handed over to receive the big snip. It was very loud with all of the barking and whining. The other dogs made some noise too. Starsky circled in the crate almost the entire time he had to wait. When if was finally Starsky's turn I got him out of the crate and took him to the registration table and the first thing he did was pee on the back of a chair one of the ladies was sitting in. I thought I was gonna die! She laughed it off saying that it happens all of the time.
I had a few people upset that I did not take any pictures of the Hooter girls. I was there for the dogs and the dogs only.
So with the addition of the cone, some antibiotics and his micro-chipping the grand total was $52. So much cheaper than any vet around. They suggest a follow up visit with your vet. I called and the office visit just to look at him will be $40. If I could afford that I would have had all the stuff done at our vet.
It was a nightmare to deal with him wearing the cone. He knocked things off of the table, knocked a broom and mop down on himself. Boy you had better be paying close attention when letting him in. He would come running in the back door and take you down too. I lost track of
how many times he hit me in the back of the knees.
Here is John wearing the free t-shirt everyone received. A few of the more"refined" people refused theirs. And don't you know it, they would not give those of us that did want one any of the extras.
We took the cone off just a few days ago. He is healing nicely but still very swollen. Almost looks like the forgot to take them out. I asked John if he thought I should ice it, he laughed and said he would like to see me try to put ice on the dog. Well, ice does take down swelling. No, I didn't try.
The local aquatic center had it's second annual Pooch Plunge.
They loved running around in the sand volleyball court and the playground.
