Meet the President

Buddy made a trip to see the next President of the United States (maybe). Barack Obama was in Madison at the Kohl Center and Buddy endured the one and a half hour wait outside in the crowd, the security search, the hour wait, the 30 minute speech, and the slow crowded walk out of the building.

He met a lot of new people. And they were a captive audience so he received plenty of attention while waiting in line and walking around before the speech. Having a dog at these outings certainly helps pass the time. The only issue we had was the heavily salted sidewalks.

All that after a visit to the vet to check on a hematoma that formed at the incision site from his surgery two weeks ago. After draining the site, the vet thought it might be infected, so in addition to twice a day hot compresses, he is on antibiotics. Nothing serious, just a little more TLC.

Buddy was uncooperative and very tense at the vet's office. Not too surprising considering what they did to him last time he was there.



Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge. -- Jerry Seinfeld
