PUPPY WOES: NEEDLE IN MY FLANK: OUCH!!!!
Today we had a double adventure. My first real daylight ride in our car and a trip to a funny smelling animal hospital where we met a lady veterinarian named Dr. CK.
I heard Bob saying in the car we were going for a “puppy check” to determine my good health. I could smell apprehension on Bob before we went into the building like something very bad had happened to him on his last visit there just over two years ago. I wonder what occurred there?
Dr. CK was wonderful, pinching, squeezing and feeling my body sweet talking me all the way. The verdict about me? “Fit as a fiddle!”. And then something terrible happened as Fay and then Bob held me firmly and assuring me everything was fine. A searing pain in my flank and I let out a howl of pain. And I thought Dr. CK was such a sweet lady until she jabbed me with what she referred to as a needle. This was “a vaccination”. And oh my I heard Dr. CK say more were coming.
After my dinner and a nice tank up on cold water I started to feel “not myself”…a happy, squirmy and naughty puppy. I slept beside Fay on the couch all evening not wanting to play. And when I moved my left flank OUCH!
I don’t think anyone wanted to hurt me but it sure seems that way. I have to give everyone the benefit of my doubt.
By the way I gave that other dog arriving when were departing a bark. I am not sure why?
