Two Jacks go to the vets'

Jack Lurcher

I got up as usual and went for my walk with Sparky, but realised things were not quite right when I didn't get any breakfast. Anyway, Grandad came and picked me and Mum up and off we went to what she called the V.E.T. They put me on the scales and then led me down to a kennel and Mum left me!!! When she came back later on, I had had two fatty lumps removed from my side, my teeth cleaned and the fur on the back of my rear legs brushed. Just as well they did it while I was asleep - I hate being brushed. It's for poodles and girls!! OK so most people who see me think I'm a girl but that's besides the point. Anyway, we went home again and boy was Sparky pleased to see me. And I had special tinned food for tea - Oliver wanted it but Mum wouldn't let him. Still feel a little bit tired so off to the sofa for a kip.

Bye for now

Jack Lab

I went to the vets' on Wednesday afternoon for my kennel cough vaccination and because I've got a sore bit of skin on the inside of one of my back legs.
I love going out, anywhere...even to the vets' cos it's an adventure. I made sure I left my mark on the big flower pot next to the entrance and then dragged mum inside.
I jumped up and put my front paws on the tall counter to say hello to Carol. Then the vet came in and I bounced up and said hello to her too.
In the consulting room, the vet wondered which would be easier, the vac, looking down my ears or checking my leg. None were easy. I made sure of that! Then the vet put a towel over my eyes and I couldn't see a darned thing so had to stop bouncing and squirming. I gave up and let her do her thing.
After that I had to get on the scales to be weighed. I don't do keeping still for long so the numbers were going up and down whilst I moved about. They soon worked out my weight anyway and then we headed back to the waiting room.
There was a cat in a box and another black lab so I hoped we could have a play. I don't think the other lab liked being at the vets' because he looked worried and didn't want to play so mum said she would put me in the car and come back for my tablets.
On the way out I knocked into a large rack of cards by the door, which teetered a bit before crashing to the floor spilling cards everywhere. Mum looked a bit embarassed and took me out quickly.
From the van window I could see mum picking up all the cards and then Carol went to help her.
Now I have to have a really big tablet morning and night. Mum hides them in tasty treats but I know they are there and spit bits out. Then I have to have a second treat to have the rest of the tablet.
