Today we are taking our cat and dog into the vet. This should be quite the adventure getting Rambo, the blue-healer cross, to go anywhere. We got Rambo 3 years ago when he was 2. He is a nice, fun dog and is really good with the boys. I must admit he is not the most intelligent dog God has ever put on the planet, but he is loving. Well, he hates, HATES to ride in vehicles. We think something traumatic happened to him before he came to us. He will not go with Dennis working, will not jump into the back of the pickup, will not get in my car...he is having none of it. If there were a delicious Tbone steak, he still would not get in. However, today he has to go.
He has a foot he has been hopping on a bit. I am pretty sure there is a thorn in there, but he won't sit still long enough to let me look. So that is good enough reason to take him, but we also need to update his shots. Why, you ask are we doing this now since we have put it off for years. Well, we have to have a letter from our veterinarian for our adoption, Home Study paperwork. I guess they want to make sure you can take care of a dog before they entrust you with a child:) The real reason is to check and make sure our pets are immunized and have a decent temperament.
So, in about 30 minutes we are going to do all we can to get Rambo into the vehicle. Dennis is going to be Rambo's driver, and I will escort Tod the cat. We borrowed a muzzle from a friend and think we might put it on him from the start, just to ease some of the craziness. We are hoping for the best! I will let you know how this all turns out!
