Yearly Check Up

I am happy to report that Ramona had her heart worm scan and she is clear!  They don't usually know definitely until 6 months or so after the last treatment because they have to wait the full cycle of the worm, in the event any larvae survived.  She is overall very healthy, aside from a food allergy we have yet to pin down and a few extra pounds. 
For the food allergy, the tests are very expensive and she isn't so sick that it is of concern to the vet or to us yet.  So I am tracking all ingredients in all her food and treats and narrowing it down that way.  I wouldn't be surprised if this dog ended up needing just boiled rice and chicken every day.  Poor girl... she loves food!
While the doc was proud of us for Ramona not gaining any weight, it is still a big deal for a 45 lb dog to be 8 lbs over weight.  That's an extra 20% of weight she's carrying around.  We put her on diet dog food, which is potentially causing her allergic reaction, and trying to get to the dog park every chance we have. 
We are coming up on 1 year since adopting Ramona and we couldn't be happier that we've had her in our home!  She's so sweet and gentle and completely adorable when she's mischievous, which makes it very hard to get mad at her!  But look at this face and tell me you couldn't cuddle with her!
