FIRST VET APPOINTMENT AND BATH

Harley had her first check up with our vet and next round of immunizations. She also had her stitches removed. She has a bit of a bulge where the stitches were and it's gotten larger over the last three days. We thought it was a hernia but Dr. doesn't think it is because he can't seem to push it back it. He thinks it might be swollen because of the internal stitches that are still there. It doesn't seem to hurt her and she's been acting just fine. We have to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get any larger or she'll have to go back to the vet.
 
After the vet we came home and I gave her a bath for the first time. She smells better and is much fluffier. It was the quickest dog bath I've ever given. Even when Ivy and Willow were this small they still had a lot of hair that took a bit to get soaked and then a good brushing followed. I brushed Harley, though I didn't need to, just so she gets used to me grooming her. Then I took her outside to dry off where she proceeded to roll and drag herself commando style through the grass.
