I went to the Vet

Yesterday, I went to the Vet to get my stitches taken out and to get my annual exam.

Mommy could not take a lot of pictures because she really has to focus on me.

But she said we can tell you about the visit.

First, I got weighed.  I am 76 lbs.  Everyone says that is a good weight for me.

Then I got my stitches out!  That was the tough part.  I didn't like it at all.  Every time the Vet got close to the stitches, I twitched.  Carol, my favorite Vet Tech, had to hold my head still while Mommy petted my nose.  It was easier to relax when Mommy was close by.  It took a bit, but finally, they got them all out.

Here is what my face looks like now.

The Vet says the scabs will start to fall off over time.

  Mommy just needs to wash my face twice a day to keep it clean.

My ear is also looking perfect.  I don't need to have any more of the nasty stuff put in my ears.  They just need to be cleaned once a week!! Yeah! 

Then, I got all my icky shots.  I didn't complain because Mommy stayed close by and gave me treats.  When we got home, I got to go out and play.  The yard was not very muddy today, so I really did some running.  When I came in, I was breathing really heavily. 

Mommy loves the way I sound after I play. She loves it so much, she took a video.

Mommy loves the way I cross my paws when I lay down.  I have done it since I was a little puppy.

As much as I love my Vet and all the Vet Techs there, I hope I don't need to go back there for a while.  I think I have had enough bad things happen to me for a while.

Doggy Kisses,
