| Well, I just got home from the vet. It was not as interesting as you may have hoped, but I was pleasantly surprised. Sasha was really good! There was this little girl in the waiting room at the end with her dad and her blue tick coonhound, and she was so cute! I'm always so surprised at how well Sasha is with little kids, especially since she doesn't come into contact with them on a regular basis. You all should know how hyper and rough she usually is around people, but it's incredible to see her with little kids. I'm usually a bit nervous, just because I dont want her to knock them over out of excitement. But she seems to recognize that she needs to be calm around people at her eye level. She just like licked her hand a bit and let the girl pet her on the neck. For those of you who know Sasha, I know your jaws are on the floor. It's something you have to see to believe.. Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent, but I thought it was cool. On yet another tangent (but a shorter one), I saw this show on MTV recently True Life: I'm Obsessed with My Dog. Clearly MTV has not seen me and Sasha. hehehe. I could beat the crap out of any of those people. Pretty much this whole journal entry will be about the dog, maybe a small portion about the cat. So, going back to the original subject, Sasha LOVES going to the vet. She's always so excited to see all the new people and dogs and stuff. The cat is a different story. We literally had to turn her crate upside down on the table to get her out. She's not very good around other people. She actually did hiss at the vet tech. (Now that vet tech can join your club Nikki! ;-) ) However, I must say that the cat takes shots much better than the dog. But that is only because if Sasha was a person she'd be me, but...happier. But maybe that's just cause dogs are happy by nature. Seriously, after Sasha got her second hip operation, when I went to pick her up, the vets just went on and on about how happy she was and her tail had not stopped wagging since she woke up, even though she must have been in significant pain.. The person that left her at the humane society as a puppy was an idiot. Good for me though, eh? I couldnt believe that someone would just leave a little puppy like that just because of hip dysplacia. I mean, I can understand not being able to pay for the surgery, but the humane society was paying for it anyway for them. They just never came back to pick her up. Poor Sasha. But I guess it's good for her too, because she was obviously seriously abused. Anytime anyone in the house yells, she hides under tables or something. I feel so bad for her. I know someone would just take out their frustration on her after a fight with a family member. I can't believe that people would be such assholes like that though. She was only 3-5 months old at the time. Who could beat a puppy like that?! What could possibly be wrong in their heads?? Sorry, kind of went off there. It really gets to me when people are unnecessarily mean like that to something so helpless. So, getting off of that, all went well today. The hardest part was trying to get the two of them through the door. That cat is heavier than you would think. And it is very hard to carry a large 15 lb box-o-cat while a 60 lb dog is dragging you into the building. I ended up making two trips back out to the car to get them home. They even behaved in the exam room together! =-O The cat tried in every way to get off of that table, but she was happy when she was done and got to go back and sit in her box. Both are healthy. The doctor was especially impressed with Sasha's health, which is like the biggest compliment someone could give me just about. It's like someone telling you your kids have been raised well. She checked her all out, was very impressed with the condition of her teeth for a four year old dog (I brush them! :-) )...(yes, even though she IS a pitbull mix..), and said "Sasha, you are the picture of health!" Oh, and she got a new rabies tag, and it's not green anymore! It's a gold star. Umm...I think that's about it, besides the fact that I picked up a job application on my way out. ;-) I honestly don't expect as many comments this time, even though I know how interested you guys all are in the health of my pets. ;-) Now do you see why I should have been on that MTV show?? Come on, as if you already didn't know.. |
