The vet visit.

Salmiak, the beekeepers cat. He’s getting old now, I think he’s 17 years old by now and have used lots of his nine lives because he’s too friendly towards dog that aren’t friendly towards him.

We had meh weather here when I woke up this morning, misty rain and a bit too cool and since we were going to the vet in a few hours I said to the dogs “Going for a walk or sleep again?” To my very big surprise they all went indoors again 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

So I was wondering if it would be best to let Alma and Nova stay at home in the dog yard while Malkolm and I went to the vet for his shot or should I bring them and when we come home have that walk? Last time I left with one dog he never came back (Albin) so knowing Alma I thought it best to let her follow and Nova would be there to keep her company for those five minutes we would be indoors. It sounds good doesn’t it 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

I fasten my dogs in the seat belt when they’re with me on the roads, I could have had them in the back but the thought of getting hit from behind and what that would do to the dogs has always made me use the seat belts instead. So I thought everything would be easy when letting them in to the car. Malkolm and Nova were no problems, Alma started screaming as soon as I tried to get her in 🙂 🙂 After that she kept on screaming all the way to the vet and also tried to come to the front seats, so I had to push her back with one hand 🙂

     

So we arrived at the vet and thankfully it was still rather cool and cloudy outside so I lowered the windows and as soon as we started walking to the entrance door Alma screamed like insane and tried to dig her way out of the car. I shouted at her that no digging is allowed and oddly enough she stopped. No such like when it came to the screaming though. We came in and were shown to a room on the other side of the building and while we were waiting I could hear Alma very clear, it sounded like someone stabbed her over and over again 🙂 🙂 The vet hadn’t arrived yet so I hurried out, shouted at her to calm down and went in again.

     

I arrived at the room at the same time the vet did. Malkolm thought that when I was gone it would be a good time to both poop and pee on the floor 🙂 So the first thing the vet had to do was to clean the floors 🙂 He kept on smiling and laughing to himself because Alma was so loud by now that anyone hearing her could have called the police reporting animal cruelty 🙂 🙂 🙂 As soon as I and Malkolm were back in the car she went silent and slept the whole way home 🙂 🙂 🙂 She’s a wonderful girl that dog but sometimes I think she will be the reason for my death 🙂 🙂 🙂

     

Have a great day!

  1. Poor Alma has separation anxiety. Would she have cried if it were Nova you took in? Or is it because she was worried about Malkolm?

    1. She has and I think it would be the same if I brought Nova instead. me no sounds at all 🙂 🙂 🙂 It’s because of what happened with Albin and I can only hope she will calm down with time.

  2. Oh, dear. It does sound like Alma may be bonded to Malkolm. Or she’s adamant that she WILL NOT lose another playmate. Perhaps next time you can take her in too, if the vet allows. My two are not particularly bonded to each other but I always take both of them in for whatever is going to be done to whomever. But then mine are small and easily wrangled. And if there is peanut butter, they are reasonably well behaved. 😀

    1. Hi Caryn!
      True, she refuses to lose another family member. I’m pretty sure she would have behaved the same if it had been Nova walking in with me. She is used to me leaving and coming back every day when I go to work so I doubt that she would have made a sound if it only had been me leaving the car 🙂 🙂 🙂

      Normally I would have taken both in but since this only would take a few minutes 🙂 🙂 🙂 Next time they all get their shots at the same time 🙂
      I’ll make sure to bring a Kong filled with peanut butter next time 🙂
