B&F is going GREEN

We are very excited to be one of the first in the industry to move away from the use of disposable plastic bags. The bags come in 2 sizes: 14" x 16" ($0.95) and 8" x 10"($0.75). It looks fantastic! Customers are amazed by the looks and price. Love the dog's pictures all over the bag. The big size fits a 30lb dog food bag. It's durable and practical. I get so many compliments when people see me with the bag. Once we finish using all the plastic bags in the store, we will only be carrying paper bags and re-usable bags. Be a friend to the environment. Use an eco-bag!

$730 Vet Bill

I had to take Angel to Ellwood Park Animal Hospital today. I had to book a week ahead because I only trust Dr. Ray with my dogs. Dr. Ray is as busy as usual. Angel is having a pretty horrible week. Her paw paw hurts. Her eyes are running like crazy. And her butt was itchy. It was an hour long visit. There was 6 patients waiting outside. I felt so bad. Thanks to Dr. Ray having patients with me.

Bulldog's paws tend to get swollen when it's wet. Angel was limping and trying to lick her paw all the time. There is always something wrong with her paw. Now she is on antibiotic for 4 months and see what happens. If she doesn't get better, she will need to be on the antibiotic for the rest of her life. About few weeks ago, Angel started having a hard time to open her left eye. She started to have lots of tears and got very red. Dr. Ray gave Angel some drops and she needs to continue using that for a long time. If Angel doesn't get better, she will probably need a eye lift surgery. Angel's itchy butt problem is so disgusting. She had to have anal glands expressed. It stunk so bad. She got some white cream on her butt so it looks quiet funny. She was also due for some vaccinations. I also found out today that Angel is 50 pounds now. I thought Angel lost some weight but she didn't.

I didn't book an appointment for Tubby with Dr. Ray cuz I thought Tubby was healthy as always. Apparently not. I was just having a conversation with Dr. Ray about how much Tubby loves to masturbate. And, Tubby's pee pee part still releasing this nasty white stuff after he got fixed. This is not normal. Dr. Ray thinks there must be some kind of infection going on there. Now Tubby is on antibiotic too. Tubby also had anal glands cuz he gets this nasty butt juice all the time. And he was due for some vaccinations as well.

All of these bills together is $730. I believe Dr. Ray already gave me some deals so I don't mind. At least we get to see Dr. Ray. I trust him fully with my dogs. I am so glad Dr. Ray isn't retired soon or moving. It doesn't matter how far away I live I will always go to see him. He will always be my only vet. We love Dr. Ray!

Happy New Year!

This year went so fast. Angel is turning 6 this year and Tubby is going to be 2. I am also getting old. :( Anyways, I accomplished a lot in 2008. We moved into new place and started our own business. It was tough but we did it. Year 2009 is going to be great and happy new year everyone!
