We're Going to the Dogs. . .

I took J.J. and Grover to the vet today to get their annual shots -- Grover has NEVER been to this vet and J. J. has only been once. However, both of them started trembling as we turned off of FM 306 toward the vet's office -- just amazing! I put leashes on both boys thinking it would be easier to manage them. Not so: the minute they got out of the car, J. J. tried to jump into my arms and Grover just ran around. So the leashes were hopelessly entangled. We finally got inside, got checked in, and sat down. After jumping around for several minutes, they finally settled down. Down the row from us was a HUGE German Shepherd who just sat their quietly -- I asked his owners if they would take my two to train for awhile!

Both boys are healthy; J. J. just needs to get his teeth cleaned (he takes after me -- I have to have my teeth cleaned 3 times/year!) and Grover tends to have a wax build-up in his ears that we need to take care of.

Eleven years ago, I had never had a pet and I never understood people who treated their pets like people. Now I am one of those people! Who knew?????
