Saturday Sept.18

Warm again this morning ... unkennel dogs, now Corey has the runs... clean his pen, then do morning run, feed and kennel. Give Corey pumpkin, if hasnt cleared up tomorrow will give Flagyl. Bring Corey inside and brush out sandspurs in prep for his bath later ... then take him and go to chiropractor (my back is a bit better) where he's a big hit (but instead of laying quietly by the chair like Banshee does when i get 'adjusted', Corey comes over and sticks his nose in my face ... leave chiro, stop by vet to pickup printout of shot record, saw Connie (the wonderful lady who was St. Francis and Angel Ginger's earthy emissary and 'arranged' for Corey to come to me) then by SuperPetz for final sale (got a LOT of canned Eukanuba at 75% off, plus cat food and some leashes), then to PetSmart to try to find crate pads (none the right size), everyone of course commenting on how beautiful and BIG Corey is), then to SPCA dog wash where Corey got a bath (he was quite good during all of these excursions today, excited, but no barking, except at the very end, after his bath, I was going to walk him around to dry off some more but oh no, he was READY to leave ) then home, other dogs inside, Corey joins them, everyone sniffs his shampoo scent thoroughly ... brush Banshee (who has sandspirs0, then take nap. out again for afternoon run, then go for inaugural ride in new van, with 4 crates! went well, no whining, but Corey managed to get the pad in his crate all balled up in the rear (this is why I need sheepskin crate pads) .. Corey misses looking out (the others never have, they just go to sleep the instant you start the engine), but this will be great for long trips. Return, husband joins us for tree watering, then feed and kennel (give all pumpkin just in case) ... as we're about done, here comes little Mattie ... too late to play (her people had taken her somewhere) but she gets a chewie.
