Dog days

Good news: car passed inspection.
Bad news: Vet says Maysie, aka Maydog, aka Her Highness, aka Pumpkin Face has renal failure. I took her in with symptoms related to arthritis. The kidney issue showed up in a blood test. The discussion with the vet was confusing. There’s no end of things you can do to treat kidney disease--expensive food and drugs and putting her on a drip for two days to clean out toxins and retesting her blood. However he also said dogs with kidney disease tend to fail quickly. So it’s hard to justify spending 100s of pounds to extend her life when the outlook is not good. This is the part of pet ownership that sucks.
Here’s a photo of HH from a few months ago avec les chats.
