I went to the VET

I been a little sick for a couple of days. I been coughing and gagging, so since Mom and Dad had to take Chalupa to the vet to get her stitches out, they thought it would be good to take me too. I got a pretty new red collar and a matching red leash. I'm not sure why I needed a a leash to pull Dad around with. He usually stays right with me.

When we got there, Mom and Chalupa went in and me and Dad stayed in the car. I think he is afraid of the vet. Or maybe the other animals in there. There was a lot of dogs there today. One little one looked really mean. And there is a cat that lives there and she thinks she is the Queen of the World. She rubs on everyone in there. Even the mean little dogs! I cleaned her ears a little bit, but she wouldn't stay very still.

Finally the called our names and we all went into this little room. Lupa got to sit on the table. I had to stay in the floor. That was not really fair. But I could walk around and visit with the pretty girls that were walking by. And there was a lot of 'em! Anyway, Dr. Thad came in and talked to my mom and dad and Lupa. Then he tried to cut off Lupa's ear with some scissors and my mom held her head so he could do it!!! He kept telling her it was all right, but how can it be all right when somebody is cutting off your ear?? Then he cleaned her ear and looked at her leg and her butt. Kinda weird, but I guess he had to do it. When they put her on the floor, I checked on her ear and it was still there! It musta been magic or something.

After he finished with Lupa it was my turn. He listened to me cough, listened to my heart and petted me a lot. I made sure he did not have any scissors. Then he said he needed to get a sample stool. He went out and I waited on him to bring in the stool. I thought he needed me to sit on a stool so he could look at everything else. But he came back with a stick. Didn't look like any stool I ever saw. He went to my butt and let me tell you something, what he did was just not nice! Mom says we may even be married in some states!! Then he wanted to take my temperature. I opened my mouth, but he went right back to my butt again. I think it is just wrong to cram stuff up a fellow's hiney when he just ain't expecting it. After that time though, I sat down. No more of that stuff.

So after all that, he had to get some blood. Thank goodness he got it from my leg and not the other end. He looked at the blood and said it was good. I don't have heart worms and I don't have butt worms. He gave me some shots and some medicine and told me that I was a good dog and to be careful around the horses cause sometimes they are mean and can kick really hard. He said I was in good shape and could go home.

Since me and Lupa was good and didn't pee on anything or bite the Dr., dad stopped and got us a biscuit for breakfast. I just love sausage. But that yellow rubber stuff ain't so great. I am feeling a lot better, but I am awful tired from having to pull Dad to the Dr and back to the car, so, I think I will take a nap.
