Boxer Insane
For the most part, Punchinella is a well-behaved, respectable representative of the Boxer breed. Except at the vet. Good gracious, she puts on a show.
First they put her on the lift table to weigh her and do the exam. As soon as she's on there she starts shaking like a leaf. I try to soothe her and let the Dr. check her out. He checks her ears and she yelps. He checks her teeth and gums, she yelps. He checks her booty, more yelping. He gives her shots and she doesn't seem to really notice. :rolleyes:
Oh, but then comes the time to clip her nails. Good grief, you'd think they were ripping them out at the roots the way she carried on. She went from yelping, to full on screaming. And I do mean screaming. I had to hold her head, vet tech held back half, and poor vet had to do some serious maneuvering to clip the little things. I've never heard such carrying on. By this point, she's had quite enough. However, I had decided to take the plunge and have her microchipped. He quickly did the insertion. More tortured yelping.
Oh, and when they sprayed the influenza/kennel cough spray into her nose, she shook her head so hard that I ended up wearing most of it. Same thing for the ear drops to remove wax.
When he was done, he gave her a doggy biscuit. She puts it in her mouth, then promptly spits it out at him. I swear she must've thought after all that ordeal we were trying to poison her
Silly, pitiful rotten little thing.
On the bright side, she got a clean bill of health!
