Chewbacca Says – My Scary Trip To The Vet
I am so afraid of my trips to the vet. There are other animals and it is so loud. Some animals are crying in the back and I can’t see them – that is even harder to handle than the dogs and cats that share the waiting room – at least I can see them and there are no surprises.
Thankfully my mom takes the Magnum (which is like a ritzy station wagon) and she folds down the 2/3 seat. Seph sits in the 1/3 while I lie with my bum in the hatch and my chest on the folded down seat. Sephora keeps a doubled up fleece blanket on her lap because sometimes I get nervous and forget that I should grab her with my paw. I get so scared though that I sometimes forget my manners. Everybody is happy. Sephora talks right into my face to try and distract me from the travels and gives me lots of hugs and kisses during the trip.
When I show up at the vet the staff loves to see me so they all start screeching that “Chewbacca’s here!” I love them so much and they help me alot but I get scared with all that screaming when I walk in the door. I think I did something wrong. But then they start giving me hugs and kisses too and I remember that I am safe here.
Aww Chewbacca is adorable! I feel for him and you, my three cats hate the vet.
What a cutey pie, he’s gorgeous. My Collie is exactly the same so nervous. Love your post x
Dogs are smarter than many people give them credit for. If it makes Chewbacca feel any better, many people feel the same about doctors.
What a cute puppy. My pets all hate the vet as well.
Thank goodness for a good staff. It makes such a big difference!
I have yet to have a pet that liked going to the vets. Every one of my dogs would shiver from the time I dragged them in there until the time they dragged me out. They all did like taking rides in the car because we usually ended up in a park!
We have to drag our dog to go anywhere! She is old and scared of everything. I love how sweet Chewbacca looks. Seems like a cutie pie to have as a member of your family.
How sweet that everyone gets excited to see Chewbacca! I’m glad it’s not as bad it seemed at first.
This is a very cute post indeed. I know my dogs get scared sometimes when they have to go vet. Your dog and lil girl is so adorable. Thanks for sharing.
What a cuddle dog. Yes going to the vet can be scary but it’s important to for doggie health. Plus where else can you get all that loving attention.
