To the Vet

Today was different. Today I went to the vet. The day started out the same, I got up early and went outside to play, took a nap and then waited for everyone else to get up.

Dad (Jeff said I should call him that) and I shoveled the driveway and played in the snow after everyone left. It was a lot of fun but I needed a nap and was starting to get worried about going to the vet. I've only been to the vet a couple of times and it was never fun. The first time was after my first owner broke my leg for the second time and it was really starting to hurt. The lady from the pound made him take me to see the vet and they worked on my leg and gave me a bunch of shots. My leg felt a little better but I was glad I didn't have to go back. A couple months later, after the pound lady came and took me to the pound for good, I went back and they took the stiches that were in my leg out and I got a shot up the nose. Then last week I went again and they neutered me, I am not sure what that means besides Mom said now I will not be peeing on her carpet so I guess it is a good thing. Good thing or not I was pretty sore after I left and I was not looking forward to a return visit.

Mom came home and I got to ride in her car. I like riding in it because she puts on good music, lays down soft blankets and talks to me. Today we went to meet my new vet, her name is Patti. Patti has a bunch of dogs, even a couple that come to work with her. She was really nice, I got a bunch of bicuits and NO SHOTS!

Here is what I learned at the vet today:
My birthday was July 5, 2009.
I weigh 46.3lbs but should grow to between 80-100lbs.
I am in perfect health.
I was probably born blind and my back leg will always hurt a little and never work the same way the other three do but it shouldn't be a big deal.

I think I like Patti and she seems to like me.

It was another good day. I really like this family, in fact I think I love them!
