Summer's Shenanigans

Kuta was being clutzy this morning and accidently stomped on Monkey, which sent her into attack mode. The dumb bitch tried to eat Kutas face and tore into his eyebrow pretty good before we could separate them (1 second later).




Can't we all just get along?!

Kuta could definately use another stitch or three, but I really don't trust a Puerto Rican vet that I don't know to put Kuta under anesthesia (no offense to Puerto Rican vets, but Kuta is old and has had some weird health problems). So, Stefan and I are keeping the wound clean and hopefully it will heal okay. If not, I'm flying Robin down to PR to teach Stefan and I how to stitch up a dog face...

Arg. F&$^ing Monkey. I'm not down with overly aggressive dogs and Monkey (an English Staffordshire Bull Terrier) just has that in her blood. If anyone could break the aggressive tendancy it would be Stefan and I, but we've had no luck.

I took Monkey to the vet today and her butt problem was exactly what I thought (gotta love the internet). Her anal sacs were full, which gives dogs a very uncomfortable feeling. Victor the vet tech, did the honors of putting his finger up her butt to "express" her anal gland ($20, well spent...) and even he seemed a bit grossed out when he was explaining to me that Monkey's sacs "were very full".

The vet also gave me a perscription for anal cream and I'm supposed to "apply a thin layer to rectal area twice daily for 10 days". WHAT? They didn't even give me any rubber gloves to go with the Monkey anal cream. Christ.

Stefan, I am Fex Ex-ing Monkey and her anal cream to you. She's YOUR dog, you know...(she's only our dog when she does cute stuff...).

Anal cream. Are you f-ing kidding me?!

Monkey has been obsessively rubbing her butt on things lately (the bed, the wall, a post, a tree, a chair, my foot...you name it, Monkey has probably tried to rub her ass on it...), so I was searching around the internet to see what might be her problem. From what I've found, it seems like her "anal sacs" need to be emptied.

Excuse me? What?! I am not sticking my finger up Monkey's butt in search of her anal sacs, thank you very much! After reading the article above, these people are talking about emptying their dogs anal sacs like it's like giving them a bath. WTF. I have had dogs since I was born and never in my life have I ever had to stick my finger in a dogs butt.

Off to the vet with her...

Once upon a time there was a dog named Monkey. Monkey gets very nervous when riding in the car. Can't you tell?!

Actually, Monkey's two favorite things are riding in the car and sleeping. Wait, actually I think sleeping and farting tie for 2nd place on Monkey's favorite things to do list.

I snapped this picture of Monkey sleeping during a car ride to Mexico. And, yes, she was farting too. I think Stefan and I invented a new game called, "Who Can Roll Their Window Down Quicker"....
