A Trip to the Vet's Office

Gertie had to go to the vet's this afternoon for the last of her puppy shots and her rabies shot. She's now set for another couple weeks when she'll go in to be spayed. Gertie did not take to the vet's well at all. Last time she just got a shot and out we went with a treat. Today she got the full examination, including a close look at the inside of her ears (just a tiny amount of wax, nothing to worry about). Then the dreaded clipping of the toe nails - gone are the little points that gave you puncture wounds at every turn.

Gertie did have a couple high points in her vet's trip - mostly in meeting a 120 pound loveable Marmaduke. The guy that owned it and I both said the same thing - we wish we had a camera because those two made goo-goo eyes at each other the whole time we were waiting.

Once we got home Gertie received a special treat - a brand new toy. It's called a chubby chews and it's about half the size of Gertie. It is too funny watching her try to drag it around the house. It has quickly become her favorite - even having a coveted place at the end of the bed where she fell asleep on top of it.

It's been a tough day and she definately needed a nap. To tell you the truth I could use one too, but it's a bit late so I'll hold off until bed time. In the meantime I guess I need to cook some supper.....
