Back From the Groomers and Growing a New Coat

Look at his little guy! I took him to my local groomer, Pawvillion. The Owner/Groomer, Elizabeth is so sweet. She took the time to let me introduce Mr. Mr. to her and also to look him over and let me know what the plan was for his cut. She found that his hair was matted in several areas but promised to try to work the matting off with conditioner.

Mr. Mr was really calm when we arrived at the groomers and curious to see the other dogs there. He's so brave. He wasn't scared at all. He was only scared to get in the car. But I picked him up and held him close letting him know that I have a current driver's license, very few accidents in my recent record, and that more than likely he'll be okay.

Groomed and now growing a new coat, we'll be running out the the pet store to buy Mr. Mr. a brush and comb recommend by our groomer and also this really helpful video.

Patience, Patience, Patience Is Key.

On day one, Mr. Mr. wasn't eating dog food and after a couple of tries, he finally ate a doggy treat. So I was really concerned that he was sick. Because, how is it possible that a dog would turn down a snack that smelled like bacon, right? Nonetheless, in the back of my head I thought there was a chance that he was used to eating human food. After all, he was living the streets when my cousin found him, but I wasn't sure. Not having any previous history of the dog, I decided to give him at least a day to see if he would eat the dog food I have at home. By the way, I feed my dog the Kirkland brand from Costco that lists chicken as its first ingredient. I totally recommend it and also recommend not feeding your dog human food. It's terrible for their teeth and there are several ingredients in human food that is toxic to dogs like garlic. Well before the end of day two, Mr. Mr. tried the food, liked it, and devoured the bowl. Now we know that at least he's not sick an...

Dog Harness - Check!

I'm sure that you'll find a dog leash and harness at the pet store. I bought Mr. Mr.'s at PetSmart. So there it is, just over $25 bucks. All done! Now, we're ready for a walk. Mr. Mr. is actually okay walking on the leash with his harness. It was a little tricky walking him and Lucho and what I found worked best was putting one dog on each side. But Mr. Mr. seemed to prefer walking next to our dog Lucho.

Where’s a Good Place in Houston To Get Your 🐶 Dog Vaccinated?

I took Mr. Mr. to Houston's Humane Society Wellness Clinic for his shots. This pet clinic has a quick turnaround and inexpensive services. My total wait (on a Tuesday before noon) was about 20 minutes. That's worth the drive! While I was there the technician was kind enough to check Mr. Mr.’s private parts to see if he needed to be neutered and he does. Snip, snip! So I made the appointment. The appointment was schedule in two weeks since he just got his shots. While I was there I also purchased his flee meds. Today the total came out to $211 for shots, testing for heart worms, and flee medicine for six months which is a pretty good deal. http://www.houstonhumane.org
