Tom Goes to the Vet

I don't like the vet. But my mini bro loves it! He's so funny. He was pulling on the leash to get in the door! When we were waiting for the vet to call us, Tom would greet everyone who came in the door with a big HELLO bark. Every human that came in was so surprised by Tom's welcoming them, they would all say, "Well, hello to you too!" right back and then pet him. He is such a charmer.

Tom had to get his ears checked and get a booster shot. He has had stinky, gooey ears. Gross. They have improved since his last visit two weeks ago. They aren't so itchy and gooey anymore because Mom puts ointment in them. They still stink though. He's a stinky boy.

I have a vet appointment soon because Mom's worried about my anal glands. Mom says it's embarrassing but I don't care. I scoot my boot all over the carpet after I go out to do my business. I lick it a lot too. (VERY GROSS, Huck!) Hopefully they're not infected or anything.

Tom seems a little under the weather from his shot. It was so funny because the vet was explaining all the potential complications and side effects Tom might get from the shot and right after she said "vomiting" guess what Tom did? He puked right there! What a good listener. He's sleeping now. We usually play and wrestle a lot but he hasn't felt like doing that. Mom has told me NO several times when I have tried to wrestle him. She says he just wants to rest.

Mom had to wash the big bed comforter because someone (Huck!) puked on it. Now we're not allowed on the big bed anymore. After she washed it, she draped it over all the dining room chairs to dry. Tom thinks this is the coolest thing ever. He likes to hide in this "blanket fort"and chew bones or nap. Here are 2 pics of him recuperating after his vet visit. He doesn't want to be bothered. Trust me.

I love going to the vet too, but I don't much like it when they make me get up on the scale. I'm not allowed onto things at home or anywhere else, so it is very strange when they make me get up onto the scale.

and... GROSS you guys! this is a gross post! yucko. luckily my anal glands are doing just fine - thanks to my rather hard raw food poo. I run away from ear cleaning too, until my mom made it a PLEASURE. She does it right when we come in from outside and I am SO hot. She uses a cool wet cloth in my ears. It is heavenly. I know, she thinks she's fooling me, but I'm just letting her do it cuz it feels good. I used to make them chase me and wrestle me to clean my ears!
