Veterinarian Week

This week we've been running the Veterinarian Gauntlet.

When I made the appointments to take the animals for their shots, the receptionist recommended that I don't take them all on the same day (that would be four cats and one dog). She was right! It was a chore just bringing just two cats at a time! She made the recommendation because people just plain old don't show up and they get "burned" for the five appointments. I think it's just too hard to bring that many at once and people give up.

Monday: Spew and Ghosty made the trip to get their shots. They were relatively easy to catch and bring, but they howled the whole way to and from the vet.

Tuesday: Black Cat and Patches turn! It was a screaming, hissing, spitting fight to get these two cats into the carriers. It was exhausting just stuffing them unceremoniously into the boxes!

Wednesday: Totoro's turn to go. He was a perfect gentleman and behaved beautifully for the vet. He and the tech complimented him on his behavior, and how it was so different than most other pugs.

The girls got a little education on veterinary care this week, and Doctor Galbreath let the girls ask him questions.

I'm glad we live only five miles away from Bean Blossom Animal Clinic.
