Paw Time with Houdini

This is me friends from last weekend.  I was worn out.  Not from running, playing or chasing Hemi or Bacon.  Nope not anything fun at all.  I had just gotten back home from the three lettered bad place – V.E.T.  Before I go further, let me discuss something with you humans.  Us anipals know how to spell.  You don’t have to spell V.E.T.  We know that is the place that we all despise.  I mean really.  Buy us a drink first.  Get to know us if you will before you violate our captains quarters.  I’m just saying and I think I speak for everyone on that private matter.  So on this date, I was visiting our vet for my yearly shots.  How those yearly shots get here so fast!  Being a Yorkshire Terrier, I can admit that our breed is a little… how should I say it….nervous about these things.  Yeah, that’s the perfect word.  So before I get my shots and the doctor feels me up, the staff usually gives me a little Benadryl to cut the edge to calm my inner Yorkie down.  So there I was one shot of Benadryl in my rump and I am chilling in my dad’s arms.  And might I add, I didn’t bark, whimper and growl at that shot.  I was a good boy.  So there I am chilling and the lady doctor finally comes in.  Mom/dad and the doctor are talking and the doctor tells daddy she is going to take me away from him for a couple of moments.  Now comes the good part.  As the doctor reaches out to get me, daddy barks and growls at her!  Seriously – the dude growled and barked!!  Rolls with puppy laughter.  For an older lady, the doctor sure did jump pretty high.  I was greatly impressed.  Of course mom fussed at daddy.  I just laughed and got excited for a few minutes…. that is until I saw the doctor going towards my captains quarters.  I ended up getting two more shots – again with no barking, growling or whimpering.  I was a good pooch mom said.  So good that I got to go by the pet store on the way home to pick out a new toy.  Daddy on the other hand didn’t get a toy because of his growling/barking.

It *IS* That Time of the Year – YIKES!

 

This past weekend mom was outside minding her own business.  She was just innocently walking to the mailbox perhaps even whistling. When out of the blue – BAM!  Something hit the back of her head.  She ran her fingers through her hair, didn’t feel anything and kept going.  She didn’t think twice about it while she was running her errands.  

But as the day went on, she started getting a headache.  There seemed to be a lot of pressure in the back of her head.  She reached up to give it a feel and WOW!  There was a huge bump back there and her head felt slightly swollen.  It also hurt to touch.  What in the world happened?  

She went and showed it to daddy.  He felt it and gave her his best advice, “Call the nurse hotline.”  Mom called the nurse hotline and told them what happened.  Well, it is that time of the year when all of the bugs come out in nature.  They think she possibly got bit by a bee or wasp.  She took some benadryl and the swelling has went down some.  You can still feel a little bump on the back of her head but the headache is nothing as bad as it was.  

So friends with two or four legs if you are out in nature, please be wary of these winged creatures who like to hit it and run.
