This is why mom takes me to Covington Vet!
My fav pal Christa was on the floor giving me belly rubs while mom spoke with Dr. Nichols. I'm a really good girl, but I do demand attention. Dr. Nichols even got on the floor to examine me. Mom likes that they come down to my level.
I had my annual exam, X-rays to check position of buckshot in my legs and blood work. I was out of sorts due to the rain to start with, and then had all this stuff done. My appt lasted 2 hours! Mostly waiting on test results, but everyone is so nice and very thorough and it didn't seem that long to mom, but I was ready to get out of there. I didn't even stop to p*e or sniff when leaving. I just wanted out!
I did meet another fan, Angela that became my friend after our last encounter. I love meeting my friends in person.
And not to leave out my other friend, Whitney. She was helping other patients, but stopped by to give me a quick belly rub while I was getting my tests done. I love going to the vet!
Since it was only sprinkling, mom took me for a walk at Dream Park as per our routine to always go somewhere fun when we go for a ride. Now remember, I don't like to get my feet wet and wouldn't go out for a potty break this morning because of this.
We walked our normal route and even when it started raining and we were the furthest from the car, I kept going. Mom had asked a few times if I wanted to go back and I didn't. By the time we got to the swimming hole, we were pretty wet. Mom just laughed because she normally wouldn't walk in the rain without a raincoat, but she really loves me! There was no shelter on the trail.
I surprised her even more by still wanting to go swimming! ( See my next post. Stupid fb won't let me combine photos and videos). I guess by that time it didn't matter.
Then Mom stopped to get pizza because my appt took so long. And when we got home it was my dinner time.
Finally I got my nap. I had been up for over 6 hours and mom thinks that is a record for me! As you can see, I was pretty tired!
BTW, I am heartworm free, but may have a few other issues to keep an eye on and I am showing the beginnings of cognitive decline. I'm not even 12 yet. 😥 I like storms even less and certain noises freak me out and I stare at the walls from a few inches away. Mom will take care of me though and give me plenty sniffaris and puzzles to keep my brain active.
