Oh the INDIGNITY!

Oh the indignity of today!!!

There I was enjoying a snooze when Mom came home early and said "Let's go Dor!" I thought wow, we must be going to do something fun, right? There she she stood, still in her work clothes, but she had a smile on her face and the car keys and my leash in her hand.

Off I went!

Everything was just dandy until we pulled into the dreaded place - the animal hospital. I tried to run, I attempted to hide - there was no hope. There I was trapped by my beloved Mother at the vet's office.

At first I was fine, but then the vet came in and started poking and prodding. I couldn't help myself - I peed the floor. I never pee like that, especially inside but I was just too afraid of what would happen next.

Well, then it happened, that mean old vet, he touched my SORE EAR!!!

I had no recourse, there I was pressed up against my mom trying to will myself into and through her and far away from the man, I was trapped and I did the unspeakable!!!

I tried to NIP the veterinarian!!

Mom was in shock, I have never barred my teeth at anyone or anything, NEVER and needless to say I immediately got muzzled. I am so sorry I tried to bite the vet - it's just he was sticking plastic pokey things in my very sore ears and I just wanted him to stop!!

So there I was, muzzled and miserable when they they led me away to get my "ears flushed" and my toes clipped. When they finally stopped torturing me and took me back to Mom, she sitting on the chair in tears. Mom had heard me crying all they way down the hall and between that and the nipping incident - we both were a little unhinged.

Now my mother has informed me that I have pills, ointment and wash all in hopes that the nasty yeast infection in my ears will GO AWAY.

My dear readers, if your human arrives home early, doesn't take time to change out of their work clothes and seems anxious to hustle you off in the car....RUN, it can only be one destination, the vet, so just RUN!

NOTE: Liza here, Dory has taken to her bed. She says she can write another word and doesn't want to speak to me the rest of the evening. I believe she is resting comfortably and I hope that after today's trauma both Dor and I can get back to normal. Dory and I would also like to thank everyone for their insightful and and supportive comments and emails about expanding our little family. We don't have a set timeline - so we will have to keep you posted from time to time as our adoption search begins. We have also enjoyed and appreciated the great comments on how our furry friends wake up their humans. We hope all our friends have a great week ahead! Keep on blogging!
