Ma' Belle

This isn't sad news...just worried news about our Belle. My mom took her to the vet last week because Belle has a pain in her nose (not the other end). The vet thought she might have an infected tooth but the anti-biotics and painkillers aren't helping. She is going back tomorrow. The vet (who is a big joker--uh, as in he makes jokes and sings outloud all the time) said when my mom had paid for enough beagle visits he could get a dental x-ray machine (big joke, haha, we've probably paid him bajillions in the past decade--can't you get an x-ray machine for an easy bajillion?)

Belle flinches when you touch her black nose and she sort of gurgles when she breathes like a congested something. My mom knows that we hounds can have sarcomas there but it's best to go with the simplest ideas first. Belle's hiding in the craft room which is a worrisome sign--she usually sleeps with us in the living room. I went in to visit her for a while.

So we're just worried a little, not sad.
