PLAYING DOCTOR

We took Booker to the vet today just to have a baseline for him. And to show him around.

Franklin was a great favorite there and they have been very interested in Booker.

I think that he did well with all the attention. It is not his favorite thing. "Give me a pat and then let me continue on my way".

He is still a little shy and there was a small bit of clinging in the excitement of the big reception area. He did say hello to a few other dogs.

The visit with our doc was great.

Booker was a bit shy at first but then dogged up and got his brave on. He stood and sat and did all the stuff a doc wants you to do.

He even quit panting and sat quietly while doctor listened to his heart and lungs.

The results were not too surprising really. He is in excellent health. Nothing wrong and a lot right.

Clear lungs and good heart. Eyes, nose, ears all OK.

But we knew this more or less. He was examined and had some work done before we got him.

The main thing is that he met the man who will take care of him and they got along fine. The interaction part of it went really well. By the end, they were good friends.

Being friends with your doc is pretty important.

Then we left to more attention from the staff. I paid the bill. The most painful part. And not that bad a pain really.

Oh. He should lose another five pounds. We took 7 off him according to the scales and we will keep on going. Until we feel ribs.
