Proud Mother?

The vet said my dog was a “clever chap” with a “lovely temperament” as she examined him and he pretty much just let her pull his eyelids and his mouth and feel his willy and the place where his balls used to be. He didn’t even flinch!

He was so very well behaved, and even gave her a lick on the hand (his regular ‘thanks!’ gesture) after she gave him his injection.

Reason #542 I would make a terrible mother

I played with my dog outside in the dark, wiped him down when he came in, and then noticed him holding one front paw up at me. Turns out he’s hurt it somehow, cue me giving it a full examination with prodding and pinching, then once I found the tender spot, trying to see if it’s a broken toe or what.

I’m going to assume that had his little toe-bone been broken, I’d have some nasty bite marks on my hand right now, and so I’m going to take away from this experience that I am a weenie who is overly concerned about my poor little baby doggy.

He’ll probably be right as rain tomorrow.
