Cinder and Smoke it sounds like your dad got a really good deal at the white coats. Our vet gives a discount on the exam for the second pet if two are brought in together. No break on the lab fees though. Bella says to tell you all that you are just her size. She weighed in last week at 39 lbs., down one pound from her last visit. It's probably from all of the heavy duty running in the back yard now that the little squirt has come to live with us. Keep up the good work!

Cinder and Smoke, so glad you got a clean bill of health for each of you! And your Dad saved a couple of dollars too!

Congratulations!

[Cincy'sMom]

Glad to hear you gots good report from the vet!!1 Tellyour dad he's lucky...it cost me about twice that just for Spot!!!

[lovemyshiba]

Glad to hear you're both healthy, Cinder and Smoke. It sounds to me like you were both very good at the vets office. And your dad did well too--we pay a lot more than that, no matter how many dogs we bring in

[Karen]

See, Cinder and Smokey, one of you's got to sneak in with Dad when he goes to HIS white-coat - maybe he gets grumbled at fer numbers, too, and he jest ain't telling you! Maybe Bootz can sneak better'n you guyz ...

Congratulations on being such GOOD dogs at the vets, I think an extra biscuit is in order just this once, go tell Dad I said so!

[Dixieland Dancer]

WOW! What an adventure you two had! Glad you got a good report for another year!! You two are so fortunate to have such a great Dad who loves you so much!!!

[jenluckenbach]

[Rachel]

Good on you, Cinder, Smokey and Dad. I don't think the we are going to be able to have such a good report when my two tip the scales. And count your blessings on that bill. Sounds like a good deal to me.

[Randi]

Cinder and Smoke, you nebber know when sumpin iz up - wiff a dad like yours. A good thing he gave you a good brushing, so you could look your best at the visit to the white coats. I'm glad you passed your examinations with flying colours - and now, it will most likely be a whole year before you need to take that trip again!

Remind dad that your good behavin' definately calls for anudder few biscuits!

Ha ha ha, those threads by Cinder & Smoke always crack me up!! Oh my, my belly still hurts from all the laughing!! Thanks doggies, we could all use that

So good that the white coats said you're both fine!!
