er, uti, i didn't scroll

lol, right?!

Two nights ago I noticed a couple drops of blood but I wasn't sure exactly where they were, er, coming from. Since I couldn't just ask him I got all investigative discovery up in here and put down paper towels hoping he'd remember to go there from when he was paper trained. He did and it was v obvious that it was in his urine. Apparently UTIs are pretty common in small dogs. What's is that rather than do expensive testing (UA and or x-rays to rule out stones) they're treating first since in 85% of dogs it is just a UTI and ABX will solve it. So he got a shot and his urine will be retested in 2 weeks. If at that point there's still blood (which I don't think there will be since there isn't even any this morning) then we'd go to x-rays.

Anyway, maybe that's not interesting but I just thought there whole approach sort of was and appreciated them not sending me immediately for $$ tests esp since he's acting totally fine and doesn't appear to be in any discomfort at all in that are. lol I really should have gone into medicine somehow. I love this stuff.

He's doing much better. Prob due to the hugs I gave him from TR. So the vet sent me this pic today from a couple weeks ago when they didn't go through with the ball chop and omg. He's doped up in his cage and looks so sad and cute it's ridic:

Why lay off the pics for a while? Nobody's complaining!

judging from b's expression in the first picture that big dog's nose got a little too close to his butt

Pair of fun dogs prove kiddie pools aren't just for kiddies anymore! :-)

lol

My boss asked me "what's so funny?" when I laughed looking at these at work.

"Oh, a picture."

you knew this :) awwww, tender Benson

benson

i keep thinking of the name benson

such a perfect name for that dog!

right

it certainly suits him and, let's face it, was better than any of the top placers here: Puppy Name Game

and i say that as someone who's proud of dog/name fit

I don't think I know what yours is named. ?

SANTIAGO

Yeah, that's a good name/fit.

i call him "santi", i named him that because i found him in east LA, so i knew he was a mexican dachshund, and i knew i was taking him home to san diego

well it was a mexican-american neighborhood anyway i found him in

Well, obv. :)

I just typing - I would prob call him Santi if I were you. Wait - you found him? I know you've mentioned this before but can you explain exactly how? Was he just walking around lost? Poor Santi!

that reminds me of spanish football player santi cazorla who has a nice carlino

Carlino is Italian for pug!

and spanish too

yeah it's a weird story

i was in israel for a bahai trip, my parents suggested i pray. i was like fuck that, i'm not praying. and they were like come on, make a wish. and i was like, fine, i'll pray. god? i want a puppy, a pony, or a million bucks.

one week later, back in the USA, driving in east LA, i see this dude running across a five-lane road in an industrial neighborhood. i went around the block to make sure he made it safely, and he ran back across the other direction. so i went around one more time and he was just zigzagging IN THE STREET.

so i parked and went to grab him, he ran into some bushes and started growling. some people came out of a house with dog treats and we lured him out. no microchip, no tags, nobody called the pound looking for him, so a week later he was officially MINE MINE MINE FOREVER!!!

nice tale
