I went to the Vet today for my annual Probing and Violation. I was proclaimed the picture of Physical Health. Mom discussed with the Vet my recent behaviors. The Vet said that he did not see any physical cause, so my behaviors must be related to psychological causes.

Did the Vet run an entire Psychological Battery of Tests?
No.
How long did the Vet even see me?
About 7.5 minutes.

I pawsonally would like to know how this Vet would feel if he was pronounced as having a Mental Health Problem after only a 7.5 minute assessment, and without any formal testing?

Mom and the family will have to work to control what they can in my environment that is causing me anguish. The Family can not control: Stupid Neighbors who light off Fireworks, and Thunderstorms.

What??? No inkblots? No free association? Did you even get to lay on a couch?

(BTW, Mom saw some of those Thundershirts and Moochie & Co in Kenwood. They're supposed to be great for dog anxiety. Just an idea....)

mh, like the vet has the slightest clue about your brilliant brain. I am sure you haven no mental illness - you are genious not ill. You will find out over time.
What mom does for the SD stuff is - she turns on youtube firework while we eat. That helped when we were in training.
Sending you the best, Jojo and sonja
