My 16 Month Doctor Visit

I did NOT sign up for this.

I was hoping my mommy wouldn’t leave me at the doctor’s,
like she did back in July. I started to get really nervous.

When we got to the doctor’s office, my mommy put me
on the scale. The last time I was here was in June…
I weighed 62 lbs! Wanna guess how much I weigh now?

I weigh 71 lbs now!

While in the waiting room, I saw LOTS of doggies!
This little doggie’s family was away on vacation, but he
got to stay in his own little hotel room, just for doggies!

Some doggies sat on the couch with their humans.
I was happy sitting on the floor.

There was even a kitty in a box! I think he wanted
to get out, ’cause he kept on scratching and scratching!

Then these 2 little doggies came in — I think they
were French Bulldogs, like my friends Benny & Lily.
But these two were crazy! They kept jumping over
each other & everyone around them.

A funny thing about the boy doggie — he kept
chewing on the girl doggie’s leash when no one was
looking! I thought he was gonna break her free!

This was another little doggie that came in to get a hair cut.

This little doggie had something wrong with his eye.
He seemed really friendly, and REALLY happy to be able to go home.

After about 15 minutes, this girl took me
back into a room, and she said really nice
things to me. I liked her. 🙂

There were COUCHES in the room! I didn’t hesitate
climbing right up onto it. Heh, heh, mommy!

I hated waiting for the doctor. It seemed like
he took forever to come into the room.

So I made myself busy — I started sniffing everything.

Not sure what’s in there.

I smelled the walls…

And then the counter.

Then Dr. C. came in. He’s been seeing me since I
was a little puppy. I’ve sure grown up a lot since then.

He told me that nothing was going to hurt.

First he looked at my teeth…

Then he listened to my heart.

Then he checked my back legs. *Sigh* Mommy went and
told him how sometimes I don’t like to stand on them.

He moved them back and forth…

And then left and right. He told mommy that my legs
are in perfect shape, and that I have great muscle mass.
He thinks it’s a behavioral issue — that I just don’t
WANT to jump into the car, or stand on one leg. *cough*
(By the way… don’t tell Nala that you’ve seen my tail
between my legs. She’d never let me live it down…

Dr. C. looked at my eyes…

And even my ears.
Then they took my temperature — it was 103°!
(I guess that was better than the 106° I had, after
I stressed out on my “vacation” last July.)

Then I got one shot…

and another one.
I was happy that it didn’t hurt.

Dr. C. then told me what a good girl I was. 🙂

I couldn’t wait to go home.

Compared to being at the doctor’s office,
riding in a car is a breeze. 🙂
