We're FINALLY home. I feel like it's been a long day and it's not even quite noon as I start to write this. Wow.
I met Tracy at Saks High School at 8 this morning to see if we could find Beaumont Roger Bat Ears, I. He wasn't there and I was worried that he would be a no-show since she couldn't find him yesterday to tell him that he had an appointment today. Thankfully, he must have gotten the message somehow because we weren't out there long when he came bounding up. Phew!
So, I gave him a can of wet food, snapped a leash on him, and then we helped him into the car and made our way to the vet. It was a long trip and a long wait, but he was pretty good for all of it. We had no problems with riding in the car, and at the vet he was friendly and curious, but he mostly couldn't do anything but chew himself and scratch. 🙁 When we got there the office wasn't super full, but when it started getting packed he hid under my chair. LOL
He was great for his exam and when we got home I washed him, also. He didn't like it, but he let me do it without any issue. I washed a TON of fleas off of him, so he should be feeling much more comfortable now. Honestly, I have never seen so many fleas on one animal before. Between his bath and his Nexgard, he should be feeling much better in the next few days. I am also going to de-worm him. I'm sure he's full of tapes, if not every other kind of worm, as well.
Anyway. That's the update for now. He's crated for now (for his protection and so he can rest - Faith can be pretty wily sometimes, so I want the introduction to go well). He didn't like it at first, but he's already quiet and passed out. I'm telling you, honest to goodness, the kid didn't stop moving once since I picked him up. His skin was driving him crazy. He definitely needs a nap. We'll hang out and play later, for sure. 🙂
