Our poor little Charlie

The dog is in need of a groom, but we had to get him updated on all of his shots. So on Monday I take him in to get a comprehensive exam. Well it turns out his teeth were really bad and the vet was really concerned so we had his teeth done on Wednesday. They said everyting went really good and he should be fine. So he came home and seemed normal. Well early Thursday morning he had two seizures! It was the scariest and craziest thing I've seen. Our poor little guy. So we went back to the vet on Friday and he had one there too. They think it may have been some of the anesthetic they gave him to put him under on Wednesday, so the kept him for Friday to flush out all of the medicine and he's been fine since. And he still isn't groomed! I feel so bad for him and just want him to hang out at home for a bit. He was at the vet four different times last week. Thankfully we go through Banfield at Petsmart and have him on a wellness plan. All of these visits only cost us $90. I guess he's just getting older. They were so good to him there. They kept telling us how good he was and how much they just love him! He would just run around the vet office instead of being in the kennel all day. They told us that "he was sick of being in there". They took such good care of him for us. So nice that they went the extra mile for us.
Other than that excitement Garrett has been doing alot of work in the backyard and we are going to get the sprinkler system in this weekend. So excited! We've got the strings out where we want grass and we can really picture it. So can't wait!! Just a few more weeks. I also painted the little wall in our living room red! Red is such a hard color to paint. You can definitely see all my mistakes!! Once I fix those it will look really good! Lots of hard work going on over here. Its so nice to have a home that we can fix up our way. Happy Monday everyone!
