Carterbutt

My life would just not be with same without Carter. He is just the best dog ever. And the cutest. I may be a little biased ;D. I did want to give a few updates on Carter:

Carter got to see his first snow this winter! It was SO funny. John was at work when it started to snow, so I got him on facetime so he could see Carter react to the snow. At first Carter started to bark at it. Then he growled because it was on his frisbee. He dug at it frantically to get the snow off. LOL. Finally, he went and played in it and LOVED it. He also tried to eat it as it fell from the sky. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! 

hmmm...

 Not so sure about this...

 

MOM...I just want to play! No more pictures!

My baby also has a growth on his eye:( It has been around for about 3 weeks and has just gotten bigger, so we decided to take him to the vet. I got lucky and a few weeks ago a vet close to where we live came into my office at work and handed out her information and some treats. They also do doggy camp- SCORE! I looked them up and the Brier Creek location will be their 2nd location and it's new. Great reviews and not expensive for camp either. Then when I was clipping coupons on Sunday, there was a coupon for a free exam to the same place! YES!

So we made an appointment and headed over there during my lunch break this Friday. Of course I had my Carter book (with all his information in it)- I'm one of those moms. But I dont care. Judge me all you want- I'm organized and know what I'm talking about. haha I fear for my human babies one day. LOL. Anyway, it was almost time for his updated shots anyway, so we were able to knock out everything in this trip. Kind of pricey, but a lot of it was first time stuff for camp. Which I'm really glad they are so careful about what dogs go in there and how healthy they are. I feel very confident that he wont get sick going there.

Vet summary:

• He's super healthy
• Has great teeth for being 2!
• Is a little heavy (my chubby puppy!) haha. He needs to lose about 5lbs. (Join the fam)
• and she has no idea what is on his eye

She took a picture of it and sent it off to her veterinary friends and to the State vet school. She said it didnt look dangerous, but to keep an eye on it. Sounds like when it comes time for his first dental cleaning, they may remove it. She also said his dead tooth didnt seem like a big issue right now, but we would need to pull it at some point (but we knew that already). 

I also really liked this place because the exam fee (which was free for us this time! yay coupons!) is good for a year. So if anything is wrong with him and we have to take him, we wont have to pay another exam fee. We did in Miami, so I think this is great! haha :D 

Carter has also been going to hang out with grandma and grandpa some. They will come pick  him up or John will drop him off. It's so cute to me. I love how much they him and I love how much he loves them. It's also great for a change of scenery for him some days and great exercise- he keeps them busy! Definitely a plus to being so close to family now!

So my baby is doing well :D However, it looks like it's time to pick up running regularly again so we can both lose weight! haha 

Happy Valentines Day from Carter! :D
