Yearly Checkup

Well, it was time for my yearly visit to the vet. I have to tell you that I was not at all thrilled about it, but Mommy took me anyway.

Here I am stressing before the doctor came in the room to get my weight. You can tell I'm stressed because my tongue is out (I'm also making my "clicking" sound). By the way, I weigh 4 lbs. 9 oz.

Maddux was due for his kennel cough vaccination so he got to go, too.

Since he was there anyway, Daddy wanted the vet to check Maddux's butt glands because he had been scooting around on the floor.

The nurse was holding Maddux up off the table while the doctor squeezed his butt glands, and Maddux was staring at me and Mommy with big bug eyes that screamed "Do you see what that mean lady is doing to me back there?! Do something!" Mommy regretted not getting a picture of this scene.  I must say...this was worth the trip. The unfortunate thing for Maddux is they didn't need to be squeezed. Turns out, it's most likely allergies causing his butt to itch. Needless to say, Maddux had a few choice words for Daddy.

I didn't get off unscathed. I had to give blood, and as always, they use the cat needle because my veins are so small. I was a big girl, and I didn't whimper or jump when the stuck me. Here's a picture of me after we got home sporting my bandage. I put on my extra pitiful face so I could get some extra treats. Of course, Mommy fell for it.

After everything Maddux had been through, he got some extra treats, too.
