Marley update


Okay, since many have asked...here is the Marley update!
After we had her about a week, I took her to the vet...we now know why she is so skinny...she had hookworms and heartworms...the later could have been prevented if her former owner had given her heartguard every month...So, the vet said we could treat her over the next three months (at a very expensive cost!) But, we love her, so we will do whatever it takes.
Well, now my jogging partner/biking partner could no longer run for the next three months.
I know how much she likes to go with me so I called the Goodwill store in Destin last Sunday and asked if they had a used bike trailer (they cost about $230 new). They had just gotten one in and I made my way over there and bought it for $29.99!
Once she got used to it, she loves going with me for a ride...the only problem is, she is so excited that she barks the whole five miles I ride with her...oh well, at least she is able to do that! I find that people are amused when they see me riding with her in the trailer, when they expect to see a baby!!
