Ungrateful Hound

25 Jan

I happened to pass an independent pet store today on my way to an appointment. Their sign said they had CBC oil in stock, so I made a mental note to return after I was finished, which I did.

Blazer has arthritis, and I was hoping that might help him. As it turned out, the CBC oil was w-a-a-y more than I could afford – $80 for a six week supply – but they had a bin of expired items, free for the taking, so I grabbed a bag of dogfood on the way out.  When I got in, I opened the bag and offered Blazer a handful of kibble.

He wasn’t interested.

It’s just as well I hadn’t spent the $20 the bag was marked – for five pounds! It says it’s beef, but it must be part gold. Yeesh.

Wowser!!

7 Aug

There is a doggie day care center up the road from us, which really looks very interesting. The dogs are allowed to mingle in large, fenced off areas, with kiddie pools and toys, running and romping with each other. We are going on vacation soon and I thought perhaps Blazer might enjoy this sort of thing instead of the place where we usually board him.

Well.

They want a “trial day” first, which seems perfectly logical. Blazer has never been around other dogs to any great extent, and I was going to ask about bringing him up for a few hours, any way. However – that trial day costs $47.50, and if it works out we get a 10% discount on the next three visits.

Which cost $55 each.

I don’t think so. Blazer can do his socializing at the local park – for free.
