shots, shots, and more shots.

Photo taken last October.

Thursday, Eli had his checkup and round of shots.  Friday, it was Simon's turn.  What I initially thought was going to be a physical exam and a rabies shot (he was due in the beginning of September...oops) turned out to be three different shots, some blood drawn for a heart worm test, and I have to bring back a stool sample  some time in the next ten days (fun).  So what I thought was going to be a $50 vet bill turned into a $150 vet bill.  Oh well, it's the least we can do for the little guy.

I also found out Simon weighs 18.2 pounds.  Eli will probably surpass him by his 4 month check up, which both amuses and disgusts me.  Why do babies grow so fast (...especially, it seems, my baby)?  Our vet also said Simon is two years old.  Up to this point we were unsure, as he was a stray before he went to the shelter, although that is what the shelter guessed his age to be around.

Anyway...hey!  I [kind of] made a post about something other than Eli! Ha.
