Togo's new collar

Togo got a new collar - kids are heading back to college and it is the start of the football season. And anyway, our children are very considerate and go to colleges where the colors look good on the dog - what's better than gold and black on a black dog?

Togo has lost some weight and we did not even know it. I guess taking your dog to 2.5 mile walk every evening does good for everyone, this summer he has gone from the 122.5 lbs to very slim 105 currently. We found out yesterday when we took him for his check up (15,000 mile service as my hubby called it). He got couple of shots, has some gunk in his ears that need some medicated ear drops (nothing too serious though) and he is now very fit dog obviously.

Dogs are like kids when you take them to the vet - you worry about them, you worry about what the vet is going to say, even though it is the routine check up and there really was nothing wrong when you took them in.

Note to Mark: the doctors did empty his anal gland sacs just as a routine, they have done it once before, they said that they just do it so that they don't get a chance to get infected and start stinking... who knew?
