Lee's Annual Check Up - by Lee


As I mentioned yesterday, my Lady was pretty sick last week, but was well enough in time to take me to the vet for my annual check up. 

I cried the whole way in the car. Lady is sure Phod cried the whole time we were gone as he is not use to being alone.



I didn't have to wait long before I had to go on the scale (Lady says Lady's don't share their weight, but since I am not really a Lady, I will say, I am 40 lbs), and was taken to my room. 



I had to wait in the room forever. I did not like it. But as soon as the vet came in, I went to his feet and sat. I remembered he gave me cookies.

I was very good during the exam. Dr. W checked ever inch of me because Lady noted that 4 times in the previous week, I had randomly screamed. She said it wasn't enough to go in, but since I was there . . . . .  Dr. W found a slightly tender spot in my back and said I had a pinched nerve or pulled muscle. He suggested rest (which I have not being doing that well with) and monitoring. Lady hasn't noticed any yelling the past few days, so maybe I am cured.

I took my shots like a champ. While we were waiting to pay, as the tech was teaching someone new, I had to wait a long time. I kept barking at Lady to leave.

I slept all the way home. 

I am not sure who was happier we were home, Phod or me! 

Anyway, I am a healthy girl, whose age is starting to show.

  5. You wuz very brave. Tomorrow Dilly has an appt with a technician for a nail trim. She will not be brave. This is why it has to be done by a technician.

  14. Paws up for your A+ check up and don't worry about "age", it means very little if you're
    healthy, strong and happy ... and loved!

  15. Way to be such a good girl for the vet!!! Our vet has given me CHEESE before. We pups just don't forget momentous occasions like that - am I right?!?
    Hope you don't have any more pain!

  16. Good job, Lee!!! I hope that the awful pain doesn't happen to you ever again. I do believe that you are a Lady so the Lady should not have revealed your weight ;)
