Yup, I went and had a flu shot this morning even though I'm majorly needlephobic because we've been trading flus with the boys over the last few months & I want to be sure I dont get sick again so that they wont get sick again - I'd never have done it otherwise. We're keeping our house significantly warmer this Fall than we used to because we want the boys to be comfy (what's an outrageous heating bill when you have 2 sweet woozly faces staring up at you going "but mom we can get out of bed, it's COLD out there!") Basically we're a pair of softies & will do anything the boys ask of us that wont endanger them... Oh yes, we're tryng an experiment: neither of my 2 guys like car rides AT ALL - they get very upset & scared - they either sulk, or bang at the door of their carrier - whenever we have to take them for a drive. so for the last month or so when they go outside the house for their daily walks we've let them play in the car (if they want to) they think its a playground now, and beg to be let in. Our hope is that when we next have to take them to the vet (tomorrow) they'll be in an environment they're used to & it wont be as traumatic. Anyone else tried anything like this? did it work?
