Trouble On A Tuesday - Check Up Time

It was an overcast Tuesday and we were just minding our own business when the Mand and Lady said it was time to go to the car to the V-E-T.




Reluctantly we got in the car and drove the hour to the clinic (yes there are clinics closer, but none have our friend and vet Woody. When he retires, we are moving to a closer clinic).

Phod showed his displeasure by throwing up. 



When we got there, we had to wait in the lobby. It was quiet while we were there. 


On the way to the room they stopped to weigh us. We have both put on a little weight. Hailey is 22 kg or 48.5 lbs and Phod is 37 kg or 81.5 lbs.

Once in the exam room we sniffed around a bit. We passed a cat on the way in and Phod just sniffed it, Lee didn't notice.

We were both cooperative with the exam, even though we were very, very nervous.

For our ages, which Woody couldn't believe, he thought Lee was 9 and not almost 13,  we are both in great shape.


While we seem to be eating less (might have to watch the treats), we have put on weight. This is good because it rules out a lot of possible old age diseases. Our eyes are showing age and we both will need a dental cleaning in the fall (no rush, just expected build up for our senior years), all is good! (Hailey has never had her teeth cleaned. Phod did once when he had a chipped tooth removed).




Let's blow this Popsicle stand!

Lady was very happy to hear we are doing so well in our golden years. We are not happy to have to go back before the year is up. 

It was very tiring. 


Some of us may have had a hard time staying awake on the way home.

  3. Two of our three recently went to the V-E-T, and the one who is normally calm was riled up the one our vet (how dare he?!) calls "a little neurotic." And I thought taking the two together would have the opposite effect. Live and learn....

  4. so happy your vet visit went so well and that you are both doing so good. poor Phod, when I ride in the back seat of a car i want to throw up also, I can float on a boat or airplane because i get really sick and can't throw up but need to and can't walk. I am sorry you suffer the same thing

  9. V-E-T??? Oh NO!!!! Handsome Phod, you should have thrown up extra, maybe that would have made the car turn around! However I am very happy to hear that you are both well! I too have put on some pounds. This is normal for those of us in our best years, isn't it?
