billroperToday, Calvin the Dog was fixed.
Because the rescue group that we got him from was paying for the bulk of the expenses here (we paid for all of the add-ons, like bloodwork), they needed to find a vet who would work for a low enough fee. This meant that we drove out to Fox Lake, which is about an hour from home. Well, actually *I* drove out to Fox Lake in Gretchen's minivan with Calvin in his kennel in the rear. Calvin did not like this and proceeded to whine for most of the trip. Then I turned around and drove back for work.
Calvin was ready to go home in the afternoon. This time, Gretchen's schedule accommodated her coming along with me, so I put the kennel back in the house and drove back out to Fox Lake to pick Calvin up and bring him home, along with his Cone of Shame (TM).
Calvin is happy to be home, but not that thrilled with the Cone of Shame, which we take off when we're in a position to keep an eye on him. We are not in a position to keep an eye on him overnight, so back in the Cone of Shame the poor pup has gone!
I spent four hours driving around far northwest suburban Chicagoland today, which is just about enough time to drive to Muncie to pick up K.
But not enough to drive back too. :)
