Crazy?

I’ve heard it said pregnant women fall in love with their obstetricians. Well, I’ve fallen in love with my veterinarian! Just look at her! She’s stunning! And as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside!

Dr. Smith always tells me how cute I am and gives me treats ... just for being me! No tricks required! When I went in for my check-up, she noticed I’d recently had a bath. (Mom had to tell her, “I’ve always bathed my kids before they see the doctor. Why should Scout be any different?”) She tells me I’m the cutest... you might think she says that to all her patients, but, dang, if she’s pulling my leg, she’s a great actress!

Some might call me crazy, but I absolutely LOVE going to the vet! When we pull into the parking lot, I literally leap across the front console to be the first one out when the car door opens. When we walk through the front doors, we see a big “Welcome!” white board that has my name on it! The receptionists and technicians know me by sight and fuss over me almost like my family. Who wouldn’t love that? It seems to me all the folks at VCA Palo Alto love their jobs, they love us dogs, and they’re not afraid to show it.

As long as I have Dr. Smith to care for me, a visit to the vet is a piece of cake.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Spring has sprung, and with it, the pollen is flying! The yellow dust is all over the cars parked on our street, and it’s getting to me, too. I’m sneezing, scratching, and generally so uncomfortable I cannot get a decent night’s sleep.

Sometimes I can’t even eat I’m so overcome with itchy discomfort.

But there is a solution — a quick injection that takes all my allergy symptoms away. It’s called Cytopoint. I’m a little sleepy for a couple hours after the shot, but then, life is good again!

My friendly technician Pamela at VCA Palo Alto made the injection pain-free for me. Plus, she’s so nice to me, I like to pop in and visit her from time to time. I love all the people at VCA. 

Now I’m breathing easy and itch-free. Better living through chemistry!
