The Vet and a Sleep over!!

Carter had to get his annual exams and shots this past week. We kept teasing him telling him he was going to the vet. lol. He doesnt mind- they are great. They get down on the floor with him and play with him. It's sweet.

This time he got to play with another puppy while we waited for our appointment. The puppy was only 12 weeks old and wanted to jump all over Carter. Carter loved it. Of course he thinks he is small, so he played back. lol. The poor dog peed all over the floor he was so excited- twice. lol.

Anyway, Carter got weighed and weighed in at a whoping 75lbs! The vet said he needs to lose about 5lbs, but I think he looks healthy. He's really muscular. We'll cut back on his food some so he can drop a few anyway.

We found out that he has whip worms :( That explaines the throwing up and diahreea randomly. Gross. He got some medicine and it will clear them away. Also- how did we not know that we need to give our dog heartworm pills once a month? How was that not in anything we read or even told to us by the rescue or the vet? Oh geez. At least it was a small problem and not something worse!

Other than all that Carter took his shots like a champ and is otherwise a really healthy pup! :D YAY!

It also worked out that Carter had a sleep over this weekend! He was SO excited! We dog sat for one of my co-workers and she has a golden retreiver named Kirby that is about 2 months younger than Carter. They are about the same size and definitely have the same energy level!

Carter and Kirby!
They played....

And played.....

And played some more....
I thought for sure that Carter was going to drive Kirby crazy, but Kirby got to where he initiated playing with Carter just as much, if not more! They finally got to the point where they would both have to rest and then 10 minutes later go again. They got along SO well. My house may smell like dog now, but it was worth it! It rained some this weekend and they played on the wet patio, which means they were wet, which didnt help with the smell. lol. BUT that was better then them ramming each other into the walls the entire weekend. haha. They were both also good to walk together! I'm guessing because they were exhausted from playing, but we'll chalk it up to being good :D
Look how tired he is! LOL
On a great note, Carter started to listen a little better with another dog around! I hope this continues and wasnt because he was used to Kirby being around. We shall see. Anyway, Carter passed out Sunday after Kirby left and slept for the rest of the day. It. was. awesome. :D

YAY doggy sleepovers! haha.
