Vet trip for check-up

Lola on Health - Mon, August 18 2008

I have had the busiest moring, hopefully I can stay awake to type this! I went out with mom and sis early this morning to walk to the bus stop (not TO the bus stop..not cool for parents to be seen but close enough to keep an eye on them till they get on). We came back home and a little bit later Kirby mom and I went for a walkie. As we were walking mom rememebered that I had a 'pointment this morning so when we got home she looked at the reminder card and it said 8:30. Oh NO! It was 9:15!! So mom called and they told her that it really wasn't until 9:30, ok... mom puts my harness back on and off we go to the vet.

Mom didn't tell me I was going to get a shot or have blood drawn.

We get in there and I get weighed. I'm 10.2 pounds, just right. I got pried away from my mama and taken back to get my "adult" baseline bloodwork done since I'm one now. Then we got back to mama and I got a SHOT! OWEE! Mom gave me a treat once I was done but that was just sneeky. It was a distemper shot. Hoover needs one of these. He has a bad temper.

So, we're home and I'm going to take a nap. Oh ya.. AND I got a bath yesterday. I'm taking the rest of the day off. TTYL!

What she failed to tell you was that she pooped this morning and it was a little runny, so it got all over her nice clean butt fur. *evil grin* Mom had to take her to the vet like that because she didn't have time to clean her off. HAHAH!! How's THAT for a BFF representative?!?

Oh, Lola, I undertand! I had to go to the vet on Saturday because I had an ear infection! The vet sat down on the floor with me and used about a gallon of solution and 50 cotton balls to clean my ears. I was NOT a fan. After she was done I hopped up onto mom and sat in her lap. I thought she'd protect me from the vet, but she just held onto me and the vet put medicine in my ear. TRAITOR!

And to top it off, the vet told mom that she thought I should get a lepto vaccine, so mom said, OK, let's just do it now. WHAT?? I need to mentally prepare for those kinds of things.

WHEW! Needless to say, I understand your tiredness. Rest up!

Lola, I feel your pain. I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago. I won't go into the details, but let's just say there were shots involved and they were by male vets. I don't like males.....

nuh-uh, Roo is FIRST in line on that shot. I am trumping that line! I have battle scars to show for it.

That is NOT how I would want to spend my Monday, BFF. And to top it off, Kirby ratted you out on the butt fur thing. Sheeesh. I'm hangin' with the grandparents up north but I hear we've got poop samples due when we get back to Indy. I've been barking my head off whilst on vacation. Bark 'atcha later!
