Vince has been a joy to have, but one of the issues we have had is that we haven't been able to board him even for a day trip because he hadn't had a rabies shot. That all changed on Saturday as he is now officially fully vaccinated! After getting his rabies shot Vince got his official City of Chicago dog tag so we can now take him to the dog parks as well.
After the vet we went to meet Penny - our friend Sharon's dog. That wasn't a great trip, while Vince was wanting to play Penny wasn't too sure about having another pooch in her house. We're afraid that Vince is going to get some ideas about decorating since Penny has her own room painted with dog bones and paw prints! All told it was a huge morning for Vince which lead to his usual Saturday afternoon nap.
Our vet is the Banfield Animal Hospital which is part of the local PetsMart. So it seems that each time Vince goes for a vet appointment he comes home with a new toy. We finally broke down on Saturday and bought him a plush chew toy. As other dog owners know already, the problem with plush toys is that they all have a squeaker in them. Vince loves his squeaking toy as you see below. He's now a Chicago Dog munching on a Chicago dog!
We hit Moonshine in Bucktown last night for Grady's birthday dinner followed by a few beverages at Easy. Notice how every bar and restaurant in Bucktown has only one name? We were discussing that last night and nobody could figure out why that was. Smile if it's your birthday party:

I hear you about the Banfield vet. Tenzing was a regular there as a puppy, visiting every 3 wks or so until he was almost 2. He's a 'special' dog with a penchant for eating plastic (CD cases, bubble wrap, sunglasses). So he got a lot of toys during post-op as well. The puppy care plan they offer worked wonders and saved us loads of money on him.
