uh yeah

so now you are dealing with one-half of "the old couple". defined: two old married people that own a dog that can...and does....go every where with them. banger sits on W's lap while i drive. we have been to home depot and lowes with our "baby" in the seat of the shopping basket....lined of course, with at least at towel. i have considered purchasing one of those cartseat covers. i have purchased her a coat (yes it is still cold here) and i have even written in an email "she looks so cute!" and here i am blogging about her. YIKES. so my bro- and sis-in-law come for the night on their way to socal and guess who "has gone over to the other side". im tellin ya, i am feelin' pain here. banger is MY birthday dog! and it pains me when i see her lovin on someone else. even when she jumps off MY lap to go sit on W's...and now her auntie???? what is up with that???? and she is now "Auntie's Princess" hmmmph. she is my Banger! MINE.
my life truly has gone to the dog.
banger has had a cough since the day we brought her home. can not be spayed at this time because she might aspirate. back to the vet we went this week. have you ever heard of "reverse sneezing?" that is what the vet said. she is not coughing, she is reverse sneezing ~ sucking in through her nose and blowing out her mouth. little dogs do it when they get excited....big dogs do it but not nearly as much. can be caused by nasal passageway blockage. treat with steroids and for now, some anti biotics, just in case. may never go away. i call it horking...but technically it is reverse-sneezing. never heard of it.

I've never heard of reverse sneezing either... wow! Sure sounds like she's getting lots of love from ya'll... so much that you haven't even had time to blog! ;)

I can't believe you take that wire-haired thing out in public unless you were shopping for a tool at Lowes to grind her toe nails. I think everyone should practice reverse sneezing. Maybe you wouldn't have to cover your mouth then. But really, I think the vets are joining the real medical field in creating diseases only to profit from the treatments.
