Maude Goes to the Vet


Shane and I loaded Maude up in her carrier and walked the two blocks to the vet for her first trip to the doctor.  Things went very well.  She did not like all the dogs in the waiting room, but once we were in the examination room, she did very well.  Shane snapped this while we waited for the doctor.

She got a clean bill of health, except for the advice for her to lose some weight, and we're waiting for the verdict on her stool sample.  She weighed 14.9 lbs. when we got her, according to the shelter records.  Today she weighed 14.12 lbs.  She is already on the road to a more svelte figure.

It's always a relief to get the okay from a trained vet, but a big help also is plenty of TLC. But who could resist supplying that? I hope no friend of mine would refuse. So glad you're both compatible with her - and vice versa.

She's beautiful, Mark. No news is good news on the stool! I am sure she'll do fine. :) Best wishes.

That's a picture of a guy who obviously loves his pet!

Maude reminds me of our cat, Mr. Grant. Glad to hear her first visit to the vet went well. :)
