Yet another vet visit?

Miss Marley had yet another vet visit. Just her annual check up with a heartworm test and some vaccine titers. The vet says she has a low heart rate which means she is in really good shape. I guess all that running is doing her good! She also said she has really good muscular tone in her back legs - especially on the right. This isn't that normal for a dog that has hip dysplasia but I have taught her some tricks with the intention of strengthening her back legs. I guess it is working. It makes me happy that she is pretty healthy despite her injuries. I am confident that the titer and heartworm tests will come back looking good as well. I just did them to be sure!

This little girl is a happy, healthy pup, despite the problems in her lower back and hips. :)

the rent a dog reps say they thoroughly evaluate all the customers, and that the dogs health is their first priority.

But, i still think that its a less than fulfilling relationship for both human and dog. dogs aren't toys and love is hard to schedule.
