It seems as if I have been taking a lot of trips lately.... Well, the latest one was to the veterinarian with my dog, Coco, for his yearly checkup and scheduled immunizations.
Sitting with Coco in a car for fifteen minutes is no easy feat. You can expect to get trampled, scratched, drooled on, and so on. Perhaps the most inconvenient thing is noticing his hair all over you once you get out of the car; I think I ended up looking as much like a furry dog as the dog himself.
Although he is much better behaved once he is in the office (perhaps because the metal tables and sterile smells are intimidating), you can expect him to somehow leave a trace there too. After getting his ears washed, he made sure to shake them out, so the end result was that there were little dog hairs and liquid flying through the air and covering all those standing near him (namely, my dad and me).
There was a different vet in the office today than usual, and Coco decided to give him a friendly hello by pressing his wet, sticky tongue to the vet's face. The vet exhibited all the signs of an animal lover: he did not object.
The conclusion is that my dog has received all the necessary immunizations, got his ears cleaned, and does not have to show up at the vet's for another year; so that's good.
I was just reviewing my pictures of him from Monday, and in at least half of them, he is sticking his tongue out and licking his nose. Here is one of the rare normal ones.
And just because I think it's funny:
