Mischa had to go to the vet today, third or fourth visit I think, for a shot. She was perfectly fine while we were in the office, but the minute we got home she started drooling like crazy. Grandma called the vet back to ask if it was normal, and they told us to come right back. So, we did.

My family went on a four day vacation, and Mischa stayed with one of my grandma's co-workers. Sadly, said co-worker has a young daughter and Mischa hasn't given up her biting.
