Started out our morning at the vet for Gizmo's annual check up...he is Skinny! He was only 37 pounds! He has been on a raw meat diet since September for his allergy and skin irritations...and it turned into a diet apparently. He doesn't act hungry...he has always been a beggar to a point...but not annoyingly. So the vet said we could feed him a little more food...she doesn't want him weighing any less, but if he got up to 40 pounds she's still be happy. But he doesn't need to get back to 45 pounds. So we will start feeding him a full patty of meat in the am and pm versus 3/4. Great, as if it wasn't expensive enough. But makes servings easier too!
Otherwise she said he looked great. Teeth are good, heart sounds good (she told me that Cavalier's can develop heart disease as they get older), then she tried to sell me on a DNA testing kit you can get from Amazon for $105 if I wanted to know what else he is mixed with...not sure I care 11 years later!
Then we headed home and packed a lunch and met the Birch family in Blaine at Lakeside Commons Park! There is a park, splash pad and beach! Kids had so much fun. And the weather was perfect, and it was great to catch up with Leann since I haven't really seen her since preschool ended!
Breckin and Sydney needed to head home to get some things done...but the kids and I played for awhile longer! They even got me to swim with them.
Before leaving, the kids got changed out of their suits and got a treat from the concessions...then we were on our way home. What a great day of fun in the sun.
