Cruising With Cody!

As usual I'm glad it's Friday night. I was ready for the weekend. It was another long week in my opinion. Having the NCAA tourney going does help a little! I hope the weekend goes by slow. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law will be spending some time with us tomorrow. Should be fun!

Well this wasn't my favorite week as Cody's mommie. I took him to the vet twice. He had what appeared to be an eye infection. I couldn't seem to clear it up using some old meds we had on hand from a previous eye infection. I took him to the vet on Monday, he was diagnosed with an eye ulcer. Have you ever heard of such a thing in the eye? I hadn't until this week.  He was given 2 meds. We went today for a follow-up visit. His eye isn't healing as quick or acting as quickly as the vet had hoped so we were referred to an eye specialist. I wasn't aware they had eye specialists for dogs until today either. So let's just say I've learned a lot this week.

I do enjoy cruising around town with little Cody. He's a great passenger. He always rides shotgun! He is trustworthy enough to ride shotgun unlike his little brother. Simon only rides in the cargo area! Hopefully, Cody doesn't instantly come home every time he gets a one-on-one trip with mommie to spill the beans to Simon that he rides shotgun. Piper gets to ride shotgun too! Poor Simon is always stuck in the cargo area, never given a chance to ride shotgun during a one-on-one trip with mommie.  I would feel sorry for him but I want the car to stay nice so I have little sympathy. Sorry Sime!

After the vet appointment today, I decided to go get our SUV washed. It was in a huge need of a bath. After all the snowy days early this month plus all the rain, oh yeah, it needed a wash badly. There Cody and I were sitting outside waiting on our SUV. We actually got to ride through the car wash part then had to get out while they vacuumed and detailed it. It was interesting to watch Cody's expression as we rode thru the car wash. He was good as gold the whole time. We never had to go inside the building which was nice. Although it's a car wash so I wouldn't have been too apprehensive about taking him inside. It's not like it's the grocery store or a department store. I'm totally against dogs other than helper dogs going inside establishments. I love my pets they are our "kids" but they are pets not human kids. So it's inappropriate in my opinion to be toting them through a department store. I always laugh in disbelief when I see people with their dog at a bookstore or in the mall.  Come on people....they are in fact dogs not humans!  I had to fight with myself a bit to even take Cody with me to the car wash but then again my reasoning was....it's a car wash! And like I said we never had to go inside so no big deal. No word yet on whether or not Cody bragged to his siblings about his first trip to the car wash once we arrived home. LOL! ;)
