My Weird Dog - Goes to the Vet

 For most people, taking their dog to the vet is a simple task.  Heck, getting their dog into the car is easy.  Unfortunately, my weird dog Pippen does not like going for car rides.  So, the idea of taking him to the vet turned into a two person job.  Yes, I had to bribe one of my kids to go with me.

Pippen finally hopped into the car and immediately proceeded to hyperventilate.  A short car ride turns into an extremely long drive when your dog is in the back seat panting.  Don't worry, he did finally calm down just as we were turning into the vet's parking lot.  

Pippen had to get a couple of shots and have his blood drawn.  Because he is a big baby might bite we have to use a muzzle for part of the visit.  He is not fond of the muzzle and walks around trying to get it off his nose.  He is unsuccessful and ends up laying down on the floor (which makes the visit go a lot smoother).

He will be going back next week to have his teeth cleaned (and maybe having a tooth extraction).  Will keep you posted on how he is doing.
