As Mom pulled into the parking lot on Saturday morning, JoLee started whining and jumping around.
“I know, I know, you’re all excited to see Dr. Bittner,” Mom said, turning off the engine and getting situated. She hooked her keys to her belt loop, slung her purse over her shoulder and sternly told everyone to wait.
As Mom went to the back of the car to get us, Lucy said, “Jo, why are you so excited to go into the vet clinic?”
"I love them! I love them!" He panted. "They love me, so I love them!"
Elbie was hanging back, well behind JoLee’s dancing excitement. Lucy cocked her head and asked him, “Elbie, are you excited to go see Dr. Kayla?”
Elbie shrugged. “One vet’s pretty much the same as all the others,” he said.
JoLee turned around and growled. “That’s not true, Elbie! I love Dr. Kayla! She’s the best!” He gave Lucy a meaningful look. “Look at your tummy and tell me otherwise!”
Lucy sat down and looked at the pearly skin on her tummy, where no blemish or sign of a scar could be seen. “Hm… You do have a point there!”
The vet visit went well. After JoLee got his fill of being petted (Elbie spent his time under Mom’s chair), Lucy was weighed (she’s up to 40 lbs.) and got her final puppy vaccinations and everyone had their toenails trimmed, it was time to go. Mom looked at the sky as we left the clinic, and said, “Sweeties, I think instead of going to the lake right now, we should go home – it’s about to rain!”
Sure enough, no sooner had we gotten into the house when it started pouring! Nap time – for everybody!
