Mizzie’s First Vet Appointment During COVID19

Mizzie had her very first vet appointment yesterday at Wood Buffalo Small Animal Hospital; the same veterinarian office that Rolo went to.

I can’t remember the first time I had seen Winky & Sandy riding around town but every time I did, it would put a smile on my face and…
