Distemper

I had my yearly distemper shot yesterday. Urmmm... it was not painful like last year when Anny took me to a different vet near our home. I like Dr Teo cos he is a very gentle man.

Here i was happily jumping into grandpa's car... then they ask me to come down and go into Anny's car. I was grinning and grinning non-stop as i thought that i was going for car rides or maybe to visit grandma at the church.

Little did i know that i was going to Dr Teo for my yearly jab :o

When we got nearer to Dr Teo's clinic... i kinda sense something was not quite right. I sit up straight and start to shiver. I hate vet visits even though Dr Teo is nice.

Dr Teo checked my nails and clipped them nicely for me. And he checked my ears and my whole body too. He says that i still have some itch. Must be from my rollovers on the grass in the garden in the afternoons when Anny is collecting the clothes. I better cutback on my rollovers as the grass sometimes gives me an itch.

He also said to Anny to not give me Beef... as beef will give doggies like me with "not so good skin conditions" a bad itch. He somehow said that chicken was alright. But the petshops said that chicken is no good. They are all very contradicting. Confusing Anny all the time. Maybe she'll turn me into a vegetarian soon and just give me tofu. Dang! I love my meat.

Thank god i didn't have to get a crew cut again. Just when i am going to be pretty handsome all over again. I know the doggie next door is having her eyes set on me ;)

Happily i went home with Anny after a 10mins stopover at Dr. Teo. I was grinning all the way home. Don't forget your distemper jabs. They are very important.

Now i am having a pretty good temper :) Woof! I'm gonna take a nap now. Need more than 40 winks after the jab.

love,
Dommy
