Tinker Update

It's been a while i know, and we start moving today, but i just wanted to update the world on Tinker. We did have her checked for UTI a while back and it came back negative. So nothing to worry about there. (You should have seen us collecting a sample!! ha!)

I took her to the vet yesterday however because she has a cut (it looks like a growth) on her right back foot between her pads... I noticed it tues and cleaned it and soaked it and everything, but decided it needed vet attention. Good thing, the cut is healing, but her foot is infected. So the vet put her on some meds to clear it up. This vet really likes Bostons. He's a older gentleman and he just thought she was so well behaved (which she is). He told me like 10 times "if you don't like the look of that foot in 1 week i expect her back in my office, you hear me?" Hehe, he was cute. And it was good for her to be seen by the vet that we are going to be using. She flinched when he touched her pad and he said, "she doesn't strike me as a wimp, that must really hurt." So, basically, i am so relieved that we took her over there... and thankfully this vet doesn't charge an arm and a leg for visits and meds.

Well, i'm heading over to the new apt today with some stuff, and tinker to get the keys and possibly contact paper the cabinets....
This dog is so wonderful, she even takes the meds without a fuss (and of course gets a cookie afterwards!!)
more pictures after the move! Nick has most of next week of to spend time with Tink and to unpack, so the move won't be as stressful on her as it could be. Plus more attention than usual (if thats possible) and lots of treats and walks : )

cracking up at the vision of you and Nick running around with a cup trying to collect a urine spec! LOL! Or even funnier, a little bag somehow stuck to Tink's bottom waiting for her to tinkle in it! Oh goodness!

Any idea how the original injury to her foot happened? Poor baby... so glad she's got a wonderful mom and dad to take care of her!
