Ok, I know that the vet is just doing her job.
I know that she loves animals and wants to make sure that they live long and healthy lives.
But all the rules. the RULES! She makes me crazy.
Now the dog has to be on a low sodium diet because her sodium and creatinine are too high.
And she has to drink more water.
So in an effort to get her to drink more H2O, I have ordered one of these jobbies…
The ultimate in pet fountain technology… hopefully it’ll keep her water clean and get her to drink more. She does like to drink from moving water in creeks and stuff.
Also, I have to find some kind of fancy-pants low sodium food she’ll eat. The SB is going to pick up some samples from the vet today of Science Diet and Eukanuba.
I suppose I could save money and just buy her steak, but it would probably be missing some essential oils or something.
The ironic thing is… if MY Doctor told me I had to eat a low sodium diet or whatever other weird food restriction they might come up with, I would totally blow them off. But… My dog? Yeah – whatever it takes.

Know what you mean. Mrs A. will only buy one brand of wet food for her Shi-Tzu, because that’s the one the Vet recommended. And of course there is only one place in town that carries it, and that one place is out of the way. If the ever go out of business, we will be driving to Bumfuque Washngton to get her food.
