Vet visit and going on holidays.


This morning started like every other morning.

I had my usual wander around the garden and my breakfast was served.

Then my lead was put on and I was taken out for a walk by myself.

This meant only one thing................I was going to the VET.

I do wish they would tell me when I have an appointment, I like to prepare myself for this momentous event in my social life!

I was first to be seen.
My VET listened to my heart.
Ooops sorry didn't mean to be rude.

There you go, that's a better view.

The sharp end always is!

I was deemed to be healthy and my teeth were in tip top condition.
So next was the injection in the back of the neck.
I did not flinch or bat an eyelid but I thought I would have at least been offered a treat afterwards. No such luck.

Now what I want to know is ....
I go to the VET. Molly stays at home.
I get a jab in the back of the neck and Molly gets a new collar.

Where is the justice in that?
Nothing for me, zilch!

Here she is showing off her new Summer collar.



So why didn't I have one. I think it is totally unfair.


Anyway there is an upside to today.

We are off on our holidays for a week so we won't be around for a while.

Hope you all stay fit and healthy and are good!

Taffy.

Molly looks very pretty in her new collar.

Enjoy your time away. We'll be thinking of you all. Especially on Monday morning at 3.40am when the alarm clock goes off........sigh

Hugs to Molly!!

Tanti baci!

Well Taffy, the thing is, I don't know how to break this to you gently - life is not fair! But I am so pleased that the vet found you safe and sound, and you will have to be content with that. After all, what's a new collar anyway!
Hope you two have a great holiday.
Cheers, H.

Stanley said...

With all the holidays you're taking, Taffy, you'd think you were French. It must be good to be you and Molly.

I'm not a bit surprised that you were very dogly at the vet ~ no flinching or snarling. Stella will be so proud. She would also say that there is no way to improve perfection so you don't really need a new collar. (She's making me type this, man.)

Goober love,
Stanley

Eric said...

Ah Taffy, sorry about the nasty suprise vet visit and not getting a new collar. But...know what I liked both the blunt and the sharp end photographs!!

Happy holidays to you and Molly. Loves n kissies Eric xxx

Fergs got a new collar a month before I did. I had "to wait for my birthday," my people said. It's true. I finally got one. I learned how to be gracious and diplomatic in the meantime.

We're sure there's a good reason. Tell us when you figure out what it is,

Faya said...

Molly's collar is beautiful. But this is for girl. You boys, you don't need so much collars....
Kisses, Faya

That is completely unfair! I hope you have a good holiday, though.

Nelly said...

What a beautiful collar that is - I wonder if they make them for puppies who wriggle out of their collars too ...
Too bad about the V E T visit Taffy.
Have a great holiday M & T! See you when you get back!

Too bad you had to go to the vet by yourself, but you took it like a big dog, Taffy, and did great. Have a wonderful holiday!
