A good trip to the vet's office

LADY HAD A GOOD DAY AT THE VET'S OFFICE.

We took Lady to the vet's office today, and it went about as well as one could hope for. No heart worms, strong heart. She even got along with the cat (who was hanging out with me later when the vet was checking Lady).

The lone negative was her weight: 61; too many cookies.

We got her a few medications, and I took her outside for a short walk.

NOTE: Lady passed on Sept. 17, 2016; that was just two weeks short of her unofficial 16th birthday. We got her Oct. 1, 2002.
