Vet visit

September 25, 2008

On Sept. 25, I visited Dr. Kang at Arguello Pet Hospital for my annual visit.  Boy, was she happy to see me!   She remembers the first time I came to see her when I had pneumonia.  She was seriously worried that I might have distemper.  But now she’s thrilled that I am healthy and happy.   She also recommended that I lose 5 lbs.  (I’m 75 lbs.)

She was quite pleased that my teeth didn’t have a lot of buildup and that Mom brushes my teeth every night.  Most dog owners balk at having to brush their dogs’ teeth.  So now that I know I’ve made the doctor happy, I won’t fight it when Mom comes at me with a toothbrush and pries open my jaws.

The vet technicians thought I was the sweetest dog.   They were very amused that my tail didn’t stop wagging, even when they used a rectal thermometer and manually took a stool sample (don’t ask!).
