To the Vet and Up Auntie Mom's Head

This morning Auntie mom, Pippin and his mom took me back to the vet. Of course I got in trouble first by chasing the cat across the road again and up a tree. I don't seem to hear Auntie mom hollering at me when I am running after a cat. We go over to pick up Pippin and his mom and then we are on our way. Auntie mom takes one of the kitty kat's to be spayed and at first I don't know where the "meowing" is coming from. I keep barking and jumping around the back seat until Pippin's mom realizes I am barking at the meowing. I quickly "find" the source of the noise and then after that I settle down. Pippin's harness and mine is in the back window, so when we stop in the parking lot of the vet's office, Auntie mom "tries" to get out to get the harnesses before letting us out. Pippin is blocking the space between the front seat, so I end up jumping over the entire driver's seat. I get scolded for this, but I also think they are impressed! I go in with Auntie mom holding on to my leash and to the cat carrier. This particular kitty has never been to the vet's office before, so paper work has to be made out... and I want to be held! I am so scared, but Pippin's mom is busy taking him in and out of the vet's office (Pippin can't always hold his bladder when he is excited) and Auntie mom is filling out paper work. As soon as Auntie mom is finished, I jump in her arms and try crawling up on to her head. Auntie mom is a cool sport and tries holding me any way that I feel comfortable, but I just keep trying to get higher and higher. You should see the long scratches on Auntie's mom chest! The kitty kat is called back first, so Pippin's mom holds on to my leash while Auntie mom takes the cat in the back. As soon as she comes back, I am right back in her lap and on top of her head. Soon I am called back in and an assistant holds me while the doctor cuts the stitches out of my leg. When it comes to taking the stitches out of my groin, I have a fit and try to jump back in Auntie mom's arms. Auntie mom leaves the room and I am held down and the stitches come out. As soon as I am done, Auntie mom comes back in and I jump back in her arms. I don't like going to the vet. Pippin and I do get a chicken strip sandwich at Sonic and some Pup Peroni bacon at Wal-Mart. We also get to bark at some dogs on the way home. I get a lot of hugs and kisses from Grandma mom when we get home and I get to play and nap in the sun until we go get Pippin at 4:30 p.m. Auntie mom takes us for a car ride and we bark like crazy when we see Lady Bug in the park. Auntie mom has already fed the cats, but Lady Bug sees them and runs three cats out of the park and one up a tree. Pippin and I bark until we can't bark anymore. When we get back to Auntie mom's house, it isn't long before the kids go home and we go for another ride with Grandma mom. We get Beggin Strips in the back seat and I end up napping because by this time it is too dark to see anything. Thank goodness I don't have to go back to the vet until next year... I just hope I don't get sick between now and then!
