Today is Trouble's 15 month ampuversary. We spent some quality time together. She and I went to the vet - I needed to pick up heartworm meds, and had hiim look at her crusty nose since I had to go there anyways. Nothing to worry about on the nose, just cosmetic, no meds required. He talked to us a long while and gave her a good go over. He asked how she was doing. I said she was doing pretty well. He says "No, she's great. To make it this long and still be healty and happy she is doing just great."
We left there and headed out to visit the friend that gave Trouble to me 10 years ago. It was a great afternoon. Trouble loves to ride, and loves to visit. She's napping peacefully now. I haven't even had a chance to take her Ruffwear harness off her. Now I hate to wake her. Guess I'll just wait 🙂

Trouble has always been a little strange in that she LOVES the vet and the Kennel. Besides, Dr F asked her if she wanted to go home with him
, they have a very special relationship
