Lilie The #Westie And Logan The #Cavapoo Get Groomed + Lilie Goes To The Vet + Some #Snow

Hi everyone.  This is Lilie the Westie.

 

Yes, I know; it’s about time Mummy let me do a post again, isn’t it?

Last week was a really busy one for me.

 

On Wednesday morning the groomer came to visit, so me and Logan got groomed.

 

I’m sure you want to see how totally adorable we are after our haircuts – me especially – so here are photos.  First me, and then Logan, which is the order we got groomed in, since I volunteered to be first.

Then, on Thursday, I had to go see the vet to get a checkup to see how I was doing on all my medications.

 

The vet says I’m doing well on them, and is very happy because I now weight 10.2 kilos (about 22.5 lbs) which is 0.2 kilos (about 0.5 lbs) less than I weighed last time I was at the vet.  I’m supposed to be around 10 kilos, so the vet says I’m perfect.  Well, we already knew that, didn’t we? But it’s nice of him to agree.

 

He also changed my pain medication.  He wants to try me on something not so strong for a while to give my liver and kidneys a break from the Mettacam.  So, I’m still having my daily Apoquel tablet and my Recicort ear drops every other day for my skin irritation.  But, instead of 10ml of Mettacam once a day, I’m now having 2ml of Calpol 6+ suspension liquid (which Mummy says to tell you is our version of children’s Tylanol) twice a day.  The vet said it was OK for me to have flavoured, because Calpol is all sugar free, so I have the strawberry one.  I like strawberries, so I’m happy about that.  Well, mostly.  Except on those days I try to make Mummy drop the medication because I don’t feel like taking it.  I don’t do that often though.  Even with the Mettacam I didn’t do that often.  Mostly I’m good about taking my medication (espeailly since I get some hot dog, ham, chicken, or something similar, afterwards).  I just have days when I wish I didn’t have to take medication.

Anyway, the grooming followed by the vet trip tired me out.  Plus, the weather got cold right around when the groomer cut my fur short, so I’ve been snuggling in the big bed with Mummy and Logan.  In fact, here’s a photo of me all tucked in for a nap:

A couple of days later we got some snow.

 

Here's a picture of the snow this past Tuesday evening...

 

 

And me and Logan out in it...

That’s all for today.

 

Lots of licks,

Lilie
