Yesterday, Millie started to
urinate blood, so I brought her to the vet this morning, knowing
she probably
had another urinary tract infection, which she does. She also had her 6 month
blood work done along with a stool sample, and she checked out great.
Millie's Buddy bought her a little red wagon so that when she gets too tired
or sore to walk,
she now has her own Millie-mobile, which you'll probably see a
lot in photos from now on as
we use it all the time, especially for long walks
along the beach, where she's making lots of new
friends.
My niece finally moved in permanently now, and she has claimed Millie as her own
dog, and
the two have become inseparable. She runs to the door when she comes
home from school to
"see my baby Millie", and she sang a song that she wrote for
Millie at breakfast this am.

"Hey Melissa, don't forget to help your ol' granny out."
"OK, Millie, we're going to see the doctor now."
"Ah, yes, the busy emergency room, this may take awhile, Millie."
"Oh, look, that must be little miss Millie watching TV with her friend."
"Feeling anything suspicious, Dr. Grimes?"
"Excuse me, I think that exam made my dog very thirsty."
"...her name is Millie and she's 14yo...a mean person threw her away, and the
shelter saved her...now we get to keep her...she's a really good girl, you can
pet her if you want to...she's so sweet she gives kisses on your hand...I wrote
a song about her, do you want to hear it?...I'm so happy because her doctor said
she's going to be ok...tomorrow when I come home from school I'm going to take
her to the beach..."
"Auntie, what does handicapped mean?"
"I'm thinking my new best friend Melissa is somewhere preparing my dinner?..."
"Later alligator."
