Mad Sam

Took Sam to the vet today. Good news is he did not have ear mites. He did have a yeast infection due to wax build-up. So he got his ears probed, scoped, and cleaned, plus getting his distemper shot. All and all he really did himself proud. Went along with everything without much fuss, until the cleaning. While the vet held him, the assistant cleaned his ears. Got one leg loose from the vet's grip and while trying to scratch his ear got Kay's hand instead. Had to have bandaid put on it to stop bleeding. He didn't even notice the shot. The assistant shook his head while the vet was giving the shot and he didn't seem to notice the shot. We were given to meds, one to clean his ear every other day for a week and medicine to put in his ears twice a day. Putting the med isn't as bad as trying to get it all messaged in before he starts shaking his head and slinging it out of his ears all over us. He also looks a little perturbed afterwards as you can see in the photo. :-) He has pretty much been asleep in his grocery sack since we got home. Vet said he would be little groggy and not eat much for couple days because of the shot. Took him out of bag to give med and then he was right back in it and asleep. We stopped at batting cage and I took few swings in getting ready to play Monday. Hadn't swung bat since Aug 2005. Could be interesting Monday. :-) Then we stopped at Stead and Shake to eat. First time Kay had been able to go to one in quite a while. Blue Angels flew over the park few times today. First time I think all six were together, was one very loud roar. Sounded like they were coming through the park and not over. Current location
We did have one rain shower today. Started just as we got home, good timing.
