I had to go to the vet today for my annual physical exam. Dr. Porte is a really cool guy, he loves how muscular I am. He also thinks it's funny how I bark and talk all of the time. It's a guy thing I guess because mom isn't so amused by it! My mom showed him a bump on my back that has developed recently and has been growing in size. I'm going to have a dental cleaning in December so he's going to remove the bump the same day. It's either a benign adenoma or a melanoma. We'll see. Mom says she's not going to get all weird on me, but you know how they get when they start worrying. Other than that, I'm the picture of health!

Today I met another schnauzer at the vet. He looked just like Finnegan. He is 11 years old and has diabetes, but he arroooo'd just like we do. We played with each other in the waiting room until our leashes got too tangled. Then when we were getting ready to leave, there was another schnauzer! He also looked like Finnegan. Guess I'm one of a kind around these parts. Annie was the only black and silver they ever saw at this vet's too! It's kinda nice to be special.

I got some extra treats for being good today. I liked the treats, but I think I could pass up the temperature taking and blood drawing procedures. I told them so, too!

Yeah Fizzy! Isn't it terrible! You know on babies they stick this thing in their ears to check the temp. We should have our pawrents invent one for dogs - it'd just need to be REALLY big LOL!
