1 Year 16 weeks, 12.2 lbs, Happy 2017!

Friday, January 27, 2017

Hello everyone, a late Happy New Year!  Mochi has been doing well and there hasn't been anything significant to report until now, but it’s all good. J

Annual Vet Check-up
Mochi just visited the vet for her annual check-up and vaccine booster (we skipped Bordetella and Lepto).  Her blood and urine test was fine (no kidney disease). 
She also got her parasite treatment pill, Interceptor.  Fortunately, she had no side-effects from the Interceptor tablet.  This is the 1st parasite treatment since she was a baby.  I don’t think she needs the parasite pill every month as I’ve seen suggested. 
She is 12.2 lbs and is getting ‘fat’ if she continues to eat the way she does or rather the way we feed her.













Snow
We had an abnormal amount of snow this January and it was very cold and icy.  Mochi just loved the snow, much more than rain.  She gets big ice balls in her fur from playing in deep snow.  She's definately not made for the snow and will need snow boots if we want to play longer.





































Grooming

Mochi still needs a lot of grooming L  We recently had to replace the long shower hose with a Rinse Ace 3-way Pet Shower Sprayer.  It’s worked great, much more functional now that she has her own mini sprayer and cheaper than getting a longer hose.

Miscellaneous 
Mochi is continuing to eat her Origen Six Fish and Regional Red.  We now alternate the two varieties.  She is continuing Gutsense, and take it at least once a week and more frequent if necessary, no side-effects from that probiotic. 
She also has a pet sitter now.  She has now stayed with the sitter twice and seems to be getting more comfortable away from home.
