This morning was Audrey's vet visit. Thankfully, she's a healthy dog that doesn't have any accidents so I only have to drop 260 dollars once a year to get all her vaccines, bloodwork, etc. She absolutely hates the thermometer up her butt, to the point where they were going to muzzle her. Instead I convinced them she'd be cool if she could just chew on some peanut butter during the experience. And I was right. Skippy to the rescue! Every vet she sees is always shocked about her hair loss, but once I tell them she went to a doggy dermatologist they leave me alone about it. The one funny thing is that someone must have typed her weight into the comp wrong last year - they had her at 17.5 pounds!!! Lil' doggy weighs 11.2!! And that's as big as she gets, so for a minute there they thought I was starving her. No, doofuses, you just had a typo. She's not laying in her dog bed that was originally made for cats, and sleeping off the extreme stress of her junk being groped.

The best news from the visit is that I got her dog park tag, so I can take her to the dog park finally. Of course I don't have time today or tomorrow, but soon I hope to go with her and Nate. I'd love for Nate to see Audrey run wild, since he's never had the chance.

Tonight I'm going to make dinner for nate: fish, homemade mashed potatoes, salad, and then brownies a la mode. Tasty! I also grabbed a bottle of my favorite wine, so I'm looking forward to his return to town (he was in Iowa last night with Sleep Out).
