Angel and Zoe don't know it, but tomorrow is a big day for them. Dave is taking them to Summit Dog and Cat Hospital (their first visit to their new vet). They'll get micro-chips (which I don't think they'll enjoy) and their nails clipped (which I know they hate). It takes two vet techs to cut each dog's nails: one to hold her down as she fights the vet tech, and the other to cut the nails.
Micro-chipping is a way to permanently identify dogs and cats. Read more about it here:
We're switching to the Summit vet because the office has handled the Trooper situation wonderfully. Also, Summit is willing to titer test our dogs, a way of finding out if they need vaccinations, rather than just pumping them full of vaccination chemicals each year. Our former vet was opposed to titers, which is odd, because at this point, it is a mainstream approach. See this article posted on MSNBC, "Still Vaccinating Your Pet Every Year?"
