Aspiration #2: Take better care of my pets' health.

This seems like an odd aspiration, but, since I'd previously scheduled a yearly checkup for our Jack Russell Terrier for today, it seems fitting to make a commitment to all the pets.
Therefore, grooming for the dogs and the monthly scrub down for the fish tank.

That's Angel, our inappropriately named Jack Russell Terrorist, looking angelically sweet, which she is... when no one is around. She was by far the smallest dog at the vet today, but she let everyone know she was there by telling them what to do. She's always been a barker (you've seen Jack Russells during Animal Planet's broadcasts of agility competitions haven't you? Jacks like to talk); however, she had a bad experience at a vet a few years ago and this only makes her behavior worse. She used to love the veterinary assistants, but now she backs away from them as well. We can't really blame her, but boy, is she embarrassing!
