Devoted, Stubborn, and Baying

Another weekend's gone by, and another weekend trip to the vet taking in Ben for his most recent ailments.  Nothing big thankfully, just all those things that come with having a lot of loose skin and long, hanging ears.  At the vet, he's called "Mr. Ben." 
 
The greatest thing about all of my trips with Ben to the vet is that now I qualify for express checkout! I don't have to pay when I leave - they just call me later!  That's pretty cool and a real time saver.  I wish they had punch cards - like a free latte after 10 visits.  I'll have to mention that this weekend.
Ben really is a super dog.  He's in love with everyone, he's super funny and super stubborn, he's very good hearted, he's sensitive and gentle and because he gets his feelings hurt easily, we have to be careful about scolding.  His baying is the most adorable kind of dog barking.  We have a neighbor that walks by the house to hear him bay, especially when they have family visiting - so funny!  He likes hanging out inside with the fam, and we just love our big, slobbery, goofball hound dog!

4th of July!

So even though I actually remembered to pack my camera, I didn't remember to use it all that often.  At least I'm half way there - maybe next time I'll remember to use it too!  Either way, it was a fun trip and we had a great time getting caught up with family.  The final day of our vaca was spent lounging around at home. We can't wait to go back!
