So, it’s 6/19/2013 7:20 AM and Kinkey has been at the Vet since yesterday morning.  He’s in to have some teeth work, and also to be altered.  Last month he had developed an infection which the Vet determined was caused by some oral inflammation.  While there we learned he had a heart murmur, and we brought him to Viera to a specialist who determined his heart is enlarged by 30 to 40 % L.  Long story short he does not need heart meds now, but we’re having his teeth taken care of, and while he’s under the general anesthetic having him “fixed”.  With the heart condition breeding is now out of the question, plus he’s approaching 7 years old so it’s time…..

It doesn't seem “right” not having him in the house.  I’m the one who walks him last at night, and first thing in the morning….Jo and Alice help walk during the day.  But the routine is off with him out of the house…..miss that pooch!!

Tomorrow we’re off (Alice, Kincaid and myself) for four days at the Miami-Everglades Resort, which is about a four hour drive South.  We’re hoping to see some of the botanical gardens in Miami.
