The down side of a Dog

Well it has been a LONG week. At the start of the week the little one was getting up a 6 am. Now for a lot of you this is the norm but for this house it is not. We are 8 to 9 people..He doesn't go to sleep until 9pm and not really having naps much anymore. So Mommy was tired and so was he so I was a little slow on why he was waking up...too much light in his room.we have a dark shade in his room but the edges are not all the way to the edge of the windows so up went Black bags on his window looks like crap but much better today it was 8:30 before he got up!!! Bags went up Wed night. OK so Wed was a killer day. Monday night when I was putting Tia The dog to bed i notice that there was a sticky spot on her hip. I thought it was Yogurt ..the kid had tossed it earlier in the day so I thought that it had landed on Tia. So in the morning Tia had started to chew it so I took a cloth and sort of wiped it off, then went to work. By Wed morning that spot on her was raw so before I left for work I gave her a bath and noticed that the sticky spot was not coming off. So I sent little man to Nana's and went to work( He is still getting up a 6 at this point) when I got to work I started to worrying about her so I called the Vet and they were really worried ,on my lunch I took her to the vet with the thought that it would be about $90.00. went back to work and after work I went and picked up the kid and went to get the dog . 1.5 hours and $250.0 it was a hot spot?? What the heck is that!! I guess there was a bug bite so some itchy spot that got infected!!! so drugs twice a day and a bath every three days for two weeks...like I don't have enough to do. Here are some pictures of outfits to stop Tia chewing her butt.
