Barracuda - Update

****BREAKING NEWS****

The lady has trapped two kittens behind the shop where she works. These two kittens she has never seen before, she knows of one more that was sitting next to one of the traps. She is using one of the kittens in a trap as bait for the mom. The mom isn't going for it. Wish her luck!

**********

Yesterday the servants took Dixie Dog and CoCo the Barracuda to the vet for their yearly vaccinations and exams. CoCo belongs to the man's mom. She found him as a stray 4 years ago, he looked quite neglected and was thought to have been abused by a previous owner. He might look all cute and sweet, but he'll take your finger off in a quick second without a hint of remorse. Vishus, we tell ya! Just look at him shooting you the laser eyes!

All in all the vet trip went well, aside from CoCo having to be muzzled and Dixie Dog's high-pitched whining, but that's normal for them. During the examinations Dixie, (age estimated around 9) was found to have early signs of cataracts, but the good news is she still has good vision. CoCo (age estimated around 7) was found to have a slight sinus arrhythmia. This means that his heart rate increases when he breaths in and and slows down when he exhales, but the vet said it was nothing to worry about. They are both happy to be back home and the good news is, the vet and tech still have all of their fingers.
