The Thermometer Goes Where?!?!

Yes, it was "that time of the month" in dog world...Abby went in for her first doctor appointment. I had been searching and searching for the best veterinarians near my area. I was more than likely the most excited one because this time I was going to do everything right; her shots and all the puppy packages that best suited Abby. I finally found a place called PetDoctor911 . They are a 24-hour animal medical center that can provide the help and care for small pets, even exotic. I had felt so welcomed the moment I stepped in, I knew Abby did too because she was the hit of the place. Everyone continuously told me "Oh, she's adorable". We decided to go for the best puppy package there was for her which consisted of her vaccinations her three DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis,Para-influenza, and Parvovirus). These are all vaccines that protect against diseases that are extremely contagious between puppies.

I only had 1 worry was how was I going to pay for these services? I mean having a pet and taking good care of a pet is expensive. Before booking the appointment, I confirmed with my way of purchasing. I applied for a credit card that was a life-saver! It's called CareCredit which you can use for cosmetic,dentist,vision, lasik, weight loss, veterinarian etc. 


Overall, us both, Abby and I had an A+ grade first time visit and we continued with their service.Two-thumbs up!

The Day My Life Changed

I don't mean to sound cheesy by all means, but the moment I saw that little fur-ball and held her in my arms was the day that my life had meaning again.

It all began years ago with the loss of one of the family's pet which happened to be a cocker-spaniel as well; her name was Ally and she had just turned one. It was a rough and tough loss that I never thought that I could love another animal again.

One day at work, I was randomly browsing Craigslist and came across a posting stated, "COCKERSPANIEL ONLY $150". I still lived with my parents and in the back of my head I could already hear my mother yelling, "Ah no, not another animal under this roof". Yet I took a chance because I just knew my mother would fall in love with her.

I remember the exact moment I fell in love with her, I was anxiously sitting in my car at a Walgreen's parking lot waiting to meet her. I felt so dangerous yet afraid at the same time because meeting up with someone from Craigslist alone wasn't the best route. As cars continued to pass me, I started to become more and more nervous. Just my luck a big blue van parks right next to my little black car, my first thought process was, "I'm about to get scammed." Out jumps a little blonde hair-blue eyed girl from the sliding van and gives me a box with a blanket. I open the box and there she was, a beautiful little hairy coned head shape, big black nose, circular eyeballs, long haired ears, and a bright pink tongue with small bubbles appearing on her tongue every time she softly panted. In that moment, her bright beaming eyes met with mine. Meet Abby! 🐾
