Big boy shots

Mom took the Sheriff and I out yesterday to enjoy the beautiful weather. Unsuspecting pups that we are, we weren't suspicious at all when Mom pulled up at her work for a promises long hike and a visit to the toy store after. Wow, we get Mom for a whole day and treats! It must be my birthday or we won the doggy lottery. 

The hike was so much fun with new green stuff to mark and yucky, smelly things to roll in. I was one happy Deputy so happy that I willingly jumped into the car after the walk as I just knew we were headed to the toy store. Mom briefly mentioned that we had one stop to make before that and we happily agreed-maybe we will get doggy ice cream if we are really good! 

We pull into the parking lot and pile out if the car. Wait....I am experiencing scent overload. Too many doggies and cats....wait I remember this place. This is where you get poked with something that makes your butt hurt all night long. Oh man I don't want to be here and quickly try to jump back into the car except Mom  is quicker and scoops me up while the Sheriff quakes in fear   

Normal routine-check my weight...yet another reminder that those late night bones were a bad idea. Then the doctor walks in. Now knowing how nervous I get around new people, mom makes sure I see the same sweet faced, quiet talking vet who gives me special loves. I like her, I really do. So much so that I let her look into my ears and touch all my paws without trying to take a chunk out of her hand. That is real love in my estimation. 

I get two quick pricks while Mom rocks me-it's my favorite thing in the whole world-really calms me down when I am upset. The Sheriff meanwhile is crouched under the chair peeing all over the floor-he doesn't seem to understand that I am the only pup who will have a sore butt tonight. 

Luckily the appointment didn't last long but everyone in the office was so impressed by oh well I have settled in and how mature I have become. I was quite pleased with myself if I do say. 

We finished off the day with a trip to the ice cream and toy store where I got to pick out a brand new squicker! Yahoo!! As the day was just as traumatic for the Sheriff, he got puppy ice cream to sooth his nerves. All in all a very Good Friday. 

Now time to track that pesky rabbit I hear is supposed to come around tonight.  Yum.
