Driving Miss Daisy

Today I put Daisy the pug in the car and took her to the vet, and luckily all the news was good. They found her to be in great shape overall and she tested negative for heartworm. She also got her first set of vaccines, including rabies—now has a shiny green tag hanging from her collar. It turns out she is approximately 10-11 months old and was in heat recently. The good thing is that she’s old enough to spay, so I’ve made another appointment for her for next Friday. While she’s under the anesthetic they will also microchip her. I don’t know if it’s at this time or at a later date, but she will still need some more vaccinations. Everybody at the vet loved Daisy, and she made sure to look as adorable as possible, with her tongue sticking out of her mouth slightly.

Lena is still not terribly impressed with her, but today she got much closer while I was sitting on the floor sorting mail. It’s like she’s trying to understand what kind of crazy beast I’ve introduced to the house. She’s also eating more, and moving around the house more than she had been moving. She does still spend a lot of time on my computer chair, so she has left a circle of fur where she has been sitting. I don’t know if they will ever be good friends, but I think they will be able to live together fairly well—they definitely need more time, however.
