This morning, I had to take Troy to the vet for his annual physical. There were several problems about this situation...
1) I had to drive the van since Troy would poke holes in the leather of the Honda. That meant we had to take the 12 passenger gas guzzler for a girl and her dog.
2) Troy absolutely HATES riding in any vehicle! He won't jump in - requiring the driver to be quite strong - and will stand there, staring at the open door, ears back. Then, once I finally get him inside, he starts whining dreadfully the moment the engine starts. It's quite the musical drive.
3) Troy's a whiner... We got to the vet at the same time as a few other dogs and Troy was happy to "meet" them. Then, he was taken back to be examined with the other dogs while I stayed in the waiting room with the other owners. There was a moment's peace and quiet and then *whimper* *whimper* *whine* *forlorn howl*. It was highly embarrassing to be the only owner in the room with a whining dog.
Then when Troy was brought back to me he was *so* happy to see me and tried to jump over the swinging door. Not quite successful. But he checked out healthy - that's all that matters!
