1. She (the dog) loves, loves, LOVES the attention...Loves being cooed

over, takes shots like they are pats on the head and has to be dragged away from all of her admirers...the cat on the other hand;at his advanced age we don't put him through it (with the vet's okay) unless absolutely necessary because he hates it so much.

3. I bring a poop specimen in every once in awhile. The exam itself

would be detrimental to Merlin's health. :)

4. Cindy doesn't mind because she loves everybody but

Murphy is another story. No vet can examine him. He won't let anyone touch him, he snarls, growls and nips at them. It took the vet, my husband and two technicians to hold him down for a blood sample the last time (September).

Luckily the dogs are only three and haven't had any problems that require a vet. We took them to a vaccination clinic that was held outdoors last year. It is time for their shots again :-(.

I don't know what to do for Murphy. It will be a huge problem when he does have a health issue.

5. The cats don't like it

except for Moe, and he's weird anyway.

The dogs love going, can't wait to get there, will pull you into the office and not want to leave.

6. Guinness (the puppy) hates it when Jack (the big dog) goes to the

vet! (Of course, Guinness hates it whenever Jack goes anywhere without him.)
