So, our Buddy missed his appointment to get fixed and chipped yesterday as he managed to steal 5 Krispy Kreme Raspberry filled glazed donuts...from the middle of the dining room table in a sealed box. We seem to have gotten through last night with no repeats, so he's off to the vet at 0830. We'll then head out to the rig in Christmas and turn the power and refrigerator on to cool off, as we're leaving Friday to visit good friends Dean and Joann Paradise on the West Coast....then off to a state park for four night (Lake Manatee State Park).
This will be our first camping outing with Buddy since we found him living free at Stephen Foster Cultural State Park in White Springs FL last month. So now we're armed with toys, leashes and leads, and some meds for car-sickness which seems to affect him. We're hoping his "procedure" this morning doesn't take too much out of him.
update, 4;55pm: Just got back from the Vet...Buddy has been fixed and chipped, teeth done etc but he's a bit swollen and not comfortable. The vet said that if he gets any more swollen to call him immediately, so we've had to put off the first part of our jaunt to Joann and Deans :(. and stick around for a few days while he recuperates.
