Dilly Goes to the Vet

 

Dilly had a vet appointment this past Thursday for a check-up and to get all her shots. We wanted her to smell nice for the visit and also to wash off the bits of food stuck to her head because of P's penchant for letting her lick bowls, plates and empty yogurt cartons. Bath Day was Wednesday. She wasn't pleased. She bolted from the tub and splashed water all over her parents. 

Our daughter is very protective of us. Because of our advancing ages and the prevalence of new cases or coronavirus in our area, she forbad us to take Dilly to the vet. Dilly's crazy about her and trustingly jumped into the car. Off they went with a list of typed questions and a stool sample in a plastic margarine container. P thought it was really funny later that day to open the refrigerator and say, "Oops, sent the wrong container!"  In many ways, that man is still in eighth grade. 

An hour later, Dilly was home.  The vet was pleased that she'd lost a pound this past year and pronounced her a "delightful dog."  Here she is on the way home, smiling  because she can now cross the vet visit off her "to-do"list.
