Check up!

 The boys had their annual vet visit today.  

Booker weighs a cool 77 pounds and Sisko weighs 80.  Do they actually look like there is only 3 pounds difference??  I was pretty surprised.

Both of them were absolutely THRILLED to see Dr. Hill.  I know vets often have to deal with dogs that are scared of them or bitey, and I hope that he was happy to see some dogs that love him.

Sisko was so excited  he kept hopping up and down despite his bad leg.

Speaking of bad legs, I was prepared to have a conversation about Sisko's CCL and maybe him recommending surgery, which I don't want to do.

He noted that both knees felt "thickened".  So both of them are old dog legs.  BUT he said that whatever we were doing as far as supplements and rest, to "keep doing what you've been doing" and indicated that it will likely heal on it's own as long as he doesn't somehow injure it worse.  Indeed he has been walking better, and noticeably putting more weight on it.  

He said that both of their body scores are great.  

They then got their lyme and lepto vaccines which is all that they were due for.  

It was a pretty nice weight off my mind!  I knew that Booker was in good shape, but a 9 year old Boxer is getting up in age, and I worried he might find something I had missed.

But it was good news and as far as they both were concerned, it was just a fun trip to meet friends!
