V-E-T

Ernest T on My Blog - Sat, August 11 2007

We went to the vet this morning. Mama thinks I was having some sort of flashback to the nail trim of last Saturday or was concerned about a cat attack like what happened to Sister Freckles, I had all four paws locked down and wasn't budging to go into the vet. All the girls came out to see me and pet me but I was looking for the door. Mama had to partically drag me down the hall. (Freckles, I kept an eye out for the cat). I got weigh-down 1.5 lbs. Once we got into the room, I started to chill out. Then Dr. Ed came in. He's my buddy. He got down to my level (or close to it) and talked to me and rubbed my ears. Mama told him what happened last week. He said to bring me back there and they'd do my nails from now on. After that, everything went good. Dr. Ed tells me how good looking I am. Got my shots, made a new friend in the lobby. Big, Fuzzy dog named Buddy. THEN since I was so good even though I was freaking out, Mama took me to the DQ. I got ice cream and a hot dog but I had to wait till we got home to get the hot dog. On the way home, I was hanging out the window checking things out and these two Grandma looking ladies tried to get me to come get in their car while we were sitting at the light. Crazy stuff! Now, I'm getting ready for another nap. Just wanted to check in. ETB

ETB, you are so funny. My mama was imagning you, refusing to move at the vet, and she was laughing.

ETB, can we talk the next time I have to go to the vet? I'd like to see what your mom's schedule is...I want her to take me to the vet and then to DQ for ice cream and a hot dog!!! I'm glad you had an okay time and that Dr. Ed was nice. (BTW, nice move with the paws on lock-down. I'll have to remember that one)

My Mama was laughing too. Bassets already have a low center of gravity. I could only imagine if it got even lower... Trying to make you move must have been funny.
Glad your day was not all bad, ETB!

Freckles-- She's on vacation all this coming week. Just let me know. And I do believe I left nail marks in the pavement.

Oh, T...you are sooo funny. I would have loved to see the "locked down" move. If we go for a walk and I get tired I just sit down and won't go, so mom has to pick me up and carry me the rest of the way. She says I sit down like I weigh 1000 lbs (I really only weigh about 7), but I have a big dog attitude. Glad to see that the rest of the outing went well...ice cream and hot dog...love 'em both!
