Yesterday I had to go for my annual bum-pokin' *sigh*. No need to elaborate, pals, I know you all understand. Suffice it to say that what we thought was an impending walk when the leashes came out, was in fact, not a walk. Not even close. But, on the bright side, all is well with my health, if not Mom's bank balance.
But this entry is about the progress we (well, Mom) is making with our vet visits. She usually takes us both to the vet at the same time. Our annual bum-pokin's are scheduled exactly 6 months apart from each other. This, of course, fits really nicely into our 6-monthly deworming schedule. So we both get the pleasure of a visit in at least 6-monthly intervals (and Mom prefers to keep it this way for the sake of her aforementioned bank balance). And, in case you don't yet know, Dexter is Petrified (yes, that's right, petrified with a capital 'P') of the vet. Dog only knows why, we don't remember him ever having a bad experience with a vet.
Anyhoo, I digress. The point of the entry is this; last visit Mom ended up apologising to the vet 3 times in the 15 minute visit. Once for Dexter snapping at the vet, once for him peeing all over the place...and we can't remember what the 3rd "sorry" was for. Now, this time she did not apologise even once! Before you get excited though, it's not because nothing happened, it's just because she is tired of apologising to them. However, if she had apologised for offences caused, there would've only have been need for two "sorry's". Which is already an improvement.
Potential apology number 1: Dexter sat on Mom's lap shivering so violently that the receptionist even noticed. Mom decided to walk him around. He made a beeline for the door, around a stand full of doggie beds, collars, harnesses and leashes....and the result was the knocking over of the entire stand. Yep. But, no apology was forthcoming. Mom figured that the stand shouldn't have been so easy to knock over. And, she also figured that she was going to be paying for one of the vet's kids next university credit in about 15 minutes, so they could give her this one knocking over of a stand.
Potential apology number 2: when the vet reached to pick up Dexter Girlypants to put him on the scale, he peed all over the floor and then the scale. Why did Mom not apologise for this? Because a) she's apologised numberous times to the same vet for the same offence and b) she reckons she was absolved of having to apologise since Dex managed to get a fair amount of said pee on her foot. Nice.
We were embarrassed one last time, when a baby bull terrier came up to say hello to Dexter. She must've been about 3 or 4 months old. Dexter hid behind Mom's legs in fear. It was a proud moment, pups.
All the fun and games almost made it worth the bum-pokin'. Almost, but not quite.

This is the ratio of Lucy to Dexter poops in the park tonight. Less than last time, but at least the ratio is still the same! And considering our weight ratio is 4.4kg :11.5kg...well, I can just imagine that you're suitably impressed! AND it would've been a total of 6 poops for me had the beeeyotch a.k.a. the one-who-feeds-me not stopped me from pooping twice more!

Yes, dear pals. Six times. This is the number of times that I pooped in the park yesterday on Mom's run/ walk. Dexter only managed a miserly three times.
Granted, the last 4 poops were tiny and really just for the heck of it, but they were big enough that Mom had to stop her walk and waste a poop bag to pick it up.
I ask you: why poop at home when you can go out and poop on the lush grass of the public park? This has always been a policy of mine; don't poop where you eat, or sleep/ live/ play for that matter.
Sometimes I amaze even myself :D
