Annual medical time. Bob is too busy sniffing the floor tiles to notice we're at the vets . By the time he's lifted onto the examination table and had his shots it's too late to complain. After the check-up the vet says '' that was easy ". Bob heads out of the door into the safety of the car park at the speed of light. He'll be prepared the next time.
Sophie knows exactly what's going on. In the waiting room she howls as if she's auditioning for the lead role in Rigoletto .To everyone's surprise no sooner is she lifted on the table than she turns on her back and falls contentedly asleep. She snores. '' That too was easy " says the vet wishing all consultations were as straightforward .
The diagnosis ? Brother and sister both robustly healthy. That wonderful stage in a dogs life. And a dog owners life.
Bob and Sophie healthy and happy. Could there be better news?
ReplyDeleteGreat news. We shake like an earthquake when we go into the Vets.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Bella & Roxy
Yes, those are wonderful days . . . when everyone is healthy.
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorite kind of vet visits!
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that !
DeleteGreat news! We agree with anonymous( above). Of course Sophie is howling! She's had "the surgery". Kisses from us for the two perfect patients.
ReplyDeleteThe only post operative 'howling' dog the surgery has ever needed to ask the owners to come and collect her within 3 hours of surgery . That's a farm dog for you.
DeleteAmen to that....
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to say that a little bit of dirt never hurt anybody. Could their muddy noses and paws be one of the secrets to Bob and Sophie's perfect health? Throw in a few roses and some tree bark and they've got it made!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the worms !
DeleteBrownie sends his love, and we're both happy that the PON duo are robustly healthy.
ReplyDeleteSophie howling as if she's auditioning for the lead role in Rigoletto....that doesn't say much for that opera...Angus you crack me up.
Nothing on the planet can hit a high 'C' like Sophie.
DeleteHurrah!
ReplyDeleteNow that's good news :)
