I got a clean bill of health at the vet yesterday. This year, Mom is taking us one at a time, one a month for our yearly check ups. It is a lot of work taking all of us anywhere, so she thought one at a time might be nice. Nelson went the beginning of May, and I went the end of May.
We are back at the Inver Grove Heights Animal Hospital. We tried a different clinic for two years, but Mom didn’t think the doctors were very good. This clinic is really good, but a bit of a drive. The drive is worth it for our health. I was hoping we were going to go do something fun, so it was a bummer when I found out I was headed to the vet.
The scale is in the lobby. I had to wait my turn to get my weight taken. I’m a healthy forty two pounds.
Next I went to the exam room where I became like Velcro on my mom. I get really scared at the vet. To be safe, I sat on the chairs and let Mom stand. She says we did that backwards. Because I’m scared I pant a lot.
After the tech took all my information down, we waited for the vet. I could hear people outside the door, but it took some time until my vet came to the room.
Finally my vet arrived. She checked me over, listened to my heart, checked my joints, looked in my eyes, ears, and mouth. After all that, she gave me my clean bill of health. We figured nothing was wrong with me, but one never knows. It is very important to get checked over at least once a year. Before leaving I got two shots and now I am good on those for three years. When I got home I took a nice nap as the stress makes me really tired. Madison will be going in for her check up in July.

We love hearing that you got a clean bill of health, Olivia! Happy June first!
Me too! Can’t believe it is already June.
you are a super brave girl… we only go together to this place and we do things we better don>’t say… congrats to your fabulous results…
I so dislike going there because I am very afraid, but I’m happy when I leave.
So important to go to the vet every year and get your shots. I’m sure you you were a very good girl.
I cling to my mom for safety, but I behave well.
Olivia YAY YAY YAY. I purrsonally do not like the scale part of my wellness but alas it is what it is.
Please thank mom for the post at the air museum. My husband thoroughly enjoyed it
Hugs Cecilia
Glad he liked the air museum post! Mom dislikes the human doctor visits too. Doctor places are not fun.
Well done Olivia!
Thank you. I’m glad I survived.
Good job Olivia…yay for a healthy, and happy(now that your home) pup!
xoxo,

As Dorothy once said, there is not place like home!
Good job! We don’t like the vet either. And we all sit on the chairs too! Lol. Have a great healthy day. Your friends Chester and Lilly
It is a scary place, just the smell of it creeps me out!
The vet is not our favorite place, but we usually don’t get terribly upset. Our Mom used to take all 4 of us to the vet together so we could support each other. Now there is only the two of us – and Clarence the cat.
It is nice to take all of us at once, but Mom says it is too much work and since three of us are stressed out, it is better for everyone to go one at a time these days.
Good job, Olivia! I think our mom is wise to take each of your separately on excursions like this!
Since most of us are stressed out, it is a good idea. Thanks for the email on KY. We hope that works out because then we might actually go next year! We are so sick of it being in the same place every single year.
Hooray for a clean bill of health, that’s always the bestest news to hear from a Vet. Now you can go do something fun. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Even when you are young and seem healthy, you just never know. I’m happy to be in good shape.
I’m so glad to hear you’re as fit as a fiddle!
So am I.
Such great news! Well done, Olivia.
It was stressful, but I’m done for a year now.
So very happy to hear that all is well with you, Olivia! I know it can be scary for you pups – and the kitties too – to go to the vet! And your Mom is smart to take you separately…it’s so much easier to comfort one scared pup than multiple ones! The first time I took the Z kids to the vet together was also the last time. Zen is a handful by himself, so I don’t need to be juggling two.
Since three of us are terrified, it is just too much for all of us at one time. We will stick with the one at a time plan for now.
