Hello again fans, followers and vizsla lovers. Thanks for dropping by.
I went to the vet today for my official "pre-adoption" exam. What a fun place! All kinds of smells, people (I love people), cookies and ATTENTION! Man, was I ever excited. I could hardly contain myself. My ears are clean as a whistle (are whistles really clean, I mean, all that saliva and such?), my heart is good, my lungs are clear and I am heartworm negative. The good doctor looked at my broken canine (from that nasty Labrador that attacked me when I was young) and felt it should not bother me for the rest of my life and pose no health issues. In the interest of full disclosure (damn you sue-happy lawyers) I do have a small scar on the cornea of my right eye. It does not affect my vision at all and poses no health issue for me in the future. Its source is anybody's guess. I was going to get my nails trimmed (they are pretty short, but could use a touch up) but I was so EXCITED and HAPPY to see people that paid attention to me that it was impossible to trim them. My foster parents and I are going to work something out in this matter.
After the vet visit, I went with Robert to the bank; was a fun ride, but I had to stay in the car while he made a deposit. I think not allowing me in the bank is rather discriminatory, don't you? Any of you sue-happy lawyers I insulted earlier in this post want to take this case, pro bono? HeeHee! (Boy am I happy I can type and surf the web...)
After the bank we went to the local feed store. I thought I died and went to heaven; food everywhere, toys everywhere, people everywhere, dogs, chickens, cats, you name it! The sales girl that greeted me out front as I came in noticed how absolutely excited I was and how I pulled on my leash (could use some work there since nobody ever took me for a walk). After we entered the store she came over with a halter and fit it to me for a live test. What a difference! I acted like a dog totally under control (I was). We picked up dog food for the senior vizslas at home, some beet pulp for the horses (those are REALLY big furries) and some new tennis balls for the other rescue at home, Rothko. The tennis balls are oversize, blue and orange and REALLY cool. I met another rescue dog, a female cattle dog, that I had a really nice time smelling. She was cute and very friendly to me, as I was to her (Miss Manners would be proud of me). We got along just fine but as I understood it from her owner, she has a bit of an aggression issue with people. Oh well, nobody is perfect. Well, maybe me and my foster parents (lol). I really liked the feed center; got lots of cookies and pets and attention from the staff. The harness that the sales girl test fit for me worked so well, my foster dad purchased it ( I wonder if he is addicted to the Shopping Channel?). All in all, a really fun day!
So, here I am. All tuned up and totally refurbished! If I were on a used car lot, I'd be the pristine sport coupe that was only driven to church on Sundays by a little old lady. I even come complete with a free 6-month supply of HeartGuard Plus and a 30-day money back guarantee, no questions asked.
Wanna take me for a test spin?
