Recovery
Recovery
Sollie's much better this morning, seems to be back to his silly old bear self. Thanks for the well-wishes from everyone. Our vet does good work, and I at least, enjoy our visits there. He's a fellow Pug lover, and has several of his own. We were chatting yesterday during Sollie's exam, and the vet started telling me about how his wife had been nagging him to get his favorite Pug, Bandit, neutered. Now, he'd deliberately kept Bandit in his natural state, to use as a stud dog. This hasn't been too successful, except for one ugly incident when Bandit ran amok with a neighbor's Chihahua. The resulting offspring, which my vet dubbed "Chia-pugs," were, as you can imagine, very bizarre looking.But, he said, his wife had been complaining about Bandit's increasing "attitude" and wanted him neutered. I innocently remarked that it hadn't helped much with Sollie, as he was increasingly getting an attitude as he gets older. Next thing I know, the vet is excitedly running out of the exam room towards the back of his office, yelling "Honey, Rita said...." I'm not sure what her reply was, but I could tell by the tone she wasn't impressed. If he had let me finish, I was going to say "but it made him stop marking the furniture and humping everything in sight."
I'm on her side.
