Vet Visit

The boys had to go to the vet yesterday to get their yearly check-up and update their shots. Let’s just say they were not too happy about it. Henry cried the entire car ride there. Usually he is very skittish but he did great with the vet! He let her hold him and look at his teeth, ears, and eyes. He was so good! And Henry weighs a healthy 10 pounds.

And then it was Pancake’s turn. Things just went downhill from there. He took one look at the vet and hissed at her twice. He was not going to let her anywhere near him. I was so embarrassed! The vet managed to examine him while he continued to hiss and grumble. They assured me they had seen worse behavior than that! The vet said that cats act the way humans wish they could when they visit the doctor…..so true! I totally want to hiss at a doctor when they poke me! ha! And of course Pancake was not happy when he got his shots. I sort of felt bad for him. And then it was weigh in time…Pancake weighs 16 pounds! I couldn’t believe it. Fortunately the vet was comfortable with his weight since he is a bigger built cat and he is eating controlled portions of diet food.

After their vet visit the boys were tired! Henry took a little nap on the couch.

And they both had a little snack when we got home….not on Pancake’s diet plan, but oh well!

    Glad the boys' are healthy. Sounds like Julie needed a nap after the vist to the vet. I always hated taking Sunshine to the vet…she just hated it.

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
