It’s yearly exam time and off to the vet I went. Getting a yearly check up is important to make sure your dog is healthy and to keep up on immunizations. Since our life span is shorter than a human, one year is more like several human years. A lot can happen in a year. Mom used to take all the furs together, but there are simply too many of us, so we are now going one at a time.
This was my first time going to this clinic. Mom went here for years but when the pandemic hit, they stopped allowing people in the building with pets and the whole place was also under construction. We found a new clinic, but Mom says she never felt real confident in the doctors there, so we are back at the old one now. It is a nice place and they are very friendly.
As always with humans there was a lot of chit chat going on in the beginning of my appointment – boring! To busy myself I had a look out the window into the woods out back. I am pretty good at keeping myself busy. The doctor and Mom went over my medical records, and discussed my recent eye surgery and then it was exam time.
She checked me out completely and told me I am in ideal health and my eyes look great. My weight is a good 48.5 pounds and I don’t need to worry about it at all. Since this is my first yearly exam, I had to get a couple shots but I don’t have to have them again for three years which is nice. I waited for the doctor to come back with the needle things. Of course, I demanded treats for my inconvenience and I got some yummy crackers. Next May I’ll be back again for a check up and hopefully will still be in Grand health.

We love hearing good news, Nelson, and we hope that next year’s report is just as good!
I hope to be healthy for a long time.
ha! we guessed it. good news for you!! congrats!! and we hope your sisters get also super news from da vetman.
Mom is going to take one a month, so Olivia will be next in June.
Glad to hear you are a fit young man, and good to go for all your sports! Also glad to hear that your clinic is now back to normal operations. That pandemic thing was just as hard on the veterinarians as other medical operations. BTW, when we were a pack of 4 we did all go together!
Mom says it is just too hard with the four of us, so she is going to stick with just one at a time and she says she kind of likes it for a change.
Never thought you would be anything but perfect.
Mom never assumes anything about health for her or us after the last couple of years. Things just seem to pop up, but since I’m a young guy, we didn’t think anything would be wrong with me.
Healthy dogs are Happy Dogs! Ya done good, Mr. Fancy Pants Nelson!
Happy, healthy, hound, that ‘s me 🙂
Nelson we all knew you were perfect but it is also nice to have a professional opinion.
YAY
Hugs Cecilia
That is right!
Good job Nelson! We are so glad you got a clear bill of health!

Thank you ladies. Being healthy is important.
It’s such a relief to go home after a trip to Doktor Feelgood. However, it’s also a relief for our pawrents to know we are healthy, or given a heads up that something might be happening. We have finally found a nice vet. She’s not as purrfect at the one we left behind at our old home, but she’s nice and cares a lot about us being healthy. Love,Dori
A good vet is very important. I’m glad we have good vet care.
Good for you handsome Nelson, we knew all along that you are perfect!!! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thank you. Just being young doesn’t guarantee good health, so I have to see the vet no matter what.
Hooray for a great check-up! And bonus points for being so good.
I was very nice and so was the vet. The cookies were yummy too.
Excellent news! and what a good boy you are!!! your friends Chester and Lilly
Thank you. I’m a happy, healthy, hound.
We figured you’d pass with flying colors! Bravo.
I should, but one never knows.
Great to hear you have a clean bill of health, shots aren’t nice but they help to keep you safe, so glad you’ve had them done
and won’t need them again for another 3 years xxx
I’m happy to have a few years without any, but they didn’t really hurt anyway.
