We took Buddy to the vet today so they could show us how to flush out his ears, because we didn't have any luck the last time. He was decidedly unhappy about having to sit down at first, but one tech held him pretty securely and the other one cleaned his ears. She squirted in the cleanser, and massaged that in, and then added some saline via squeeze bulb and wiped out all the gook with a kleenex. When she started wiping it out, Buddy made this weird sound that Morgan and I thought was a growl, but the techs said no, it was the "ear groan". Not a growl, more of an "oh, yeah, that feels goooood" sense.
He did it on the other side, too, and now his ears are clean and she put the ointment in them so I don't have to do it tonight, and he was such a good boy overall I gave him treats and then we went to Mud Bay to buy more chewy yummies.
Also, he has lost a pound and a half in the last week, which is definitely awesome progress and we're pleased. He just needs to lose about 12-15 more, but we'll get there.
Meanwhile, work was a bit hectic this morning, and I was hoping to have time to get some stuff done that wasn't livesite but it didn't happen. I'm wondering how much I really want to do it tonight vs. tomorrow morning. It has to get done by tomorrow afternoon. Don' wanna. Hafta.
Dad will be here four weeks from today. Yipe!
