The little fucker just went to the vet today for the first time on my dime. I took him to his Momma's vet who helped whelp the litter and gave them their first shots, etc.

I was pretty pleased as he got fecal sample probed, poked and physicaled, his first heartworm and flea treatments and dewormed for $59.00. I can deal with that. (also a bag of Science Diet dog food).

He's been going to work with me every day and hangs out in a "crate" I put in my office. Office opinion is divided on the appropriateness of a dog at work but that's just because the naysayers have never been around a good dog. And this is a good dog. The majority of my workday is outside the office anyway, and he is in another crate in my car during that time so his effect on office life is minimal.
