Hi everyone! Bailey’s letting me post about my doctor visit yesterday, while she sat at home, probably not being patient at all.
\n
\nYou know how Bailey wasn’t feeling good recently, right? Well, it seems that I’ve caught what she had. It’s been a few days since my tummy has felt OK, so mommy thought it was time she brought me to the doctor. <\/p>\n

Bailey had just finished taking her medicine, and after yesterday’s doctor visit, I’m taking the same medicine but a smaller amount (’cause I’m a little doggie!). <\/p>\n

\nFirst fleas, now an upset tummy — how lucky am I?<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nIf we leave now, we can quietly disappear before the doctor comes in.
\nAre you with me? <\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nQuick! I don’t see him coming yet!<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nOf course, mommy wasn’t fast enough.
\nHi Doc. \ud83d\ude42<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nI really don’t like to be touched by so many
\npeople at once. Is that strange?<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nThe doctor commented on one of my tags.
\nIt says, “Sweetest Baby in the World.” \ud83d\ude42<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nFinally we were done, but we had to wait for the
\ngirl to bring in my medicine and paperwork.<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nThe doctor told me that it sounded like I had the same
\nproblem that Bailey recently had. So he prescribed the
\nsame medicine, but a smaller dosage.<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nI waited by the door for the girl to come back.<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nI got a little impatient.<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nHere she comes! I couldn’t wait to go home.<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nFinally… we got to leave!<\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nWe walked to our car, and I jumped right in.
\nI’m not scared of jumping into our car like Bailey is.
\n(You don’t have to tell her I told you that.)<\/em> <\/center><\/p>\n

\"Nala's
\nI rested in the car as we drove home. <\/center><\/p>\n

When I think back to yesterday’s visit, I don’t think I was as nervous as I used to get at the doctor. I used to really shake and pace the floor. This time, I didn’t shake at all, really. Maybe after all these years, I finally realize that nothing bad will happen to me there. All the people are really nice, and they all know me. I’m like a movie star. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

After one day of taking my medicine, I think I’m starting to feel better. Now if I can just stop jumping up on the back of my couch by the window so I don’t fall over again… Yep, I actually fell over the couch today! When the meter guy passed by our house, Bailey and I RAN to the couch by the window. It’s a really good thing that Bailey pushes the couch toward the window sill, ’cause when I realized I had jumped up too high on the couch, and then realized that I was going to fall right over, I was able to put my front paws on the window sill for a moment to see if I could figure out how to get myself out of this mess.<\/p>\n

Mommy tried, but wasn’t fast enough to catch me before I fell to the ground behind the couch. It’s a good thing there was nothing back there for me to fall on. I did hurt my front legs a little, but I think I was more scared that I had fallen over the couch. I am OK now. A quick trip outside to do my business, and I went on to take a nice long nap.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, there won’t be any more doctor visits in my near future! For a doggie who is usually scared of lots of stuff, I’m becoming quite the dare devil in my old age! <\/p>\n

Keeping my paws crossed I don’t see the doctor anytime soon. xx<\/p>\n

Lotsa woofs,<\/p>\n
