A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}

Our little Pomeranian ZuZu is getting her 1st yearly checkup on Saturday.  She was due for her vet visit back around Christmas but every time we try and schedule an appointment, it seems the vet office is closed. We finally got an appointment for her and then the vets office canceled due to weather.  It was basically just a rainy day.  The wife has been wanting to try another vet that is closer to us so she got an appointment for ZuZu this coming up Saturday at a new vets office.  I will continue to take my two boys (Pinto and Monty) to our current vet until something happens to them.  I really like my current vet but they have gotten so expensive.  I had to stop purchasing the heart guard pills from them because the vet's office had them marked up 50% over what I could get them for online.  I don't mind paying a premium to support my local vet but when you have 3 dogs, this gets to be very expensive.  The last straw was they gave us some samples of the medication for Monty to try for his anxiety when traveling, and they charged us for the samples they had gotten for free.  For 3 dogs for their annual now costs us almost $2000.  I am going to need to get pet insurance!

Monty just had his 13 1/2 birthday.  He is still so hansom and gets along great.  His little sister Lola has been gone now for 14 months and I still miss her everyday.  Pinto is doing well and will be turning 13 in March.  ZuZu is crazy and wants attention ALL the time.  But she is the sweetest dog I have ever been around and has never met a stranger.  She just loves every dog, person or other animal.  She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
