The dogs got to travel to the vet today. Zoe needed to get her vaccinations, and Otis needed some blood work to test his thyroid levels.
For the most part, they behaved well. Zoe didn’t want Dr. J to touch her ears, but she licked his face while he listened to her heartbeat. Otis compromised the air quality of the exam room while we were all in there, so that was fun. Dr. J took the dogs in back for their shots and blood work, and Tim and I waited in front. When the tech brought the dogs out, Otis took exception to a lovable tan and white lab mix, so I took him outside while Tim paid the bill.
Zoe weighs 71 pounds, and Otis weighs 58. We’ve been reducing their food from 2 cups twice a day to 1 1/2 cups twice a day, because we noticed Zoe was getting a little thick in the middle, and Otis didn’t need extra weight on his hips. They’re maintaining nicely.
In other travel news, I have some London trip reports up on my other blog. I’ve also got a photo set on Flickr. I hope I did the country justice. I truly loved it there.

we’re waiting for dr. j to call us back with boscoe’s liver levels. he had a blood draw on saturday; need to find out of the numbers are still elevated. doug, of course, thinks they are, and i think they aren’t. we’ll see who’s right.
your london pictures are great! they bring back a lot of memories. the place and neighborhood you stayed look a lot like where we stayed two years ago. were you over near the British Museum, by any chance?
and were you traveling with your sister? you two look alike.

Good luck with Boscoe’s liver levels…
We were in Hammersmith, so we were in the southwest part of the city. I was a little worried before we got there that we’d be too far out of the city, but with the tube it was fine. And I really liked the neighborhood.
Not my sister, but a really dear friend. We hadn’t traveled together before, but she was great to travel with (I only hope she can say the same of me!).
