Going for a ride usually means we’re going to get something to eat or going to get something to play with. When I say “who wants to ride to ‘Smart?” the first Doxie that comes running is the one who gets to go and pick out the toy.
Needless to say, Chloe is always on the ball and gets to pick out the toy. Chloe would like you to save $10 on your next trip to PetSmart. Click on that banner and you’ll get a special coupon code you can enter with your order to save some money.

For the past week or so, Odie has be crying when he poops. On top of that he’s been scooching his butt on the carpet.
Dr. Thomas, our great Vet at Midtown Veterinary Clinic, examined Odie today and found that Odie’s anal glands were swollen.
Dr. T. expressed those glands and out came that clear smelly stuff which is good since it was clear and not infected.
He said we caught it early, since usually what happens is that swollen glands will abscess and burst open. Then you have a big problem.
Odie managed to get a sore on his butt from dragging it on the carpet or licking it to much to relieve the swollen glands. Odie is on antibiotics for 10 days to clear up the infection and his fecal examine came back negative for parasites.
