Too Big For The Scales

 

Hi,
I feel badly done by, neither Rupe nor I had had a walk this morning when Franny asked me did I want to go in the car with her, [maybe she was driving to the park!]

Rupe grabbed one of OUR toys and said 'cool- let's go' and started to get up, but Franny said 'no Rupe, I need you to stay and look after Lucille and the house'; Ha! that Lucille - she'd already escaped and was harassing the birds, and the flutterbies, and the stick insects, and the - well - everything that moved, so she wasn't going to need much looking after was she? and the house - well the house doesn't do anything - it just sits there!

Of course, Franny usually tells Rupe to look after me, but I was going to go in the car, so he had an easy job - but he didn't look too thrilled about it.
Well we started off - drove past the park - obviously not going there- bummer! Then we stopped at the Vets - good-o - I like the vets- the nurses are great and they give me liver treats, pat me and tell Franny how beautiful I am, how clever, how well behaved etc etc [ho hum - how BORING am I!] so, I strut into the vets -'where are you girlies? - oops- hang about, Franny had said 'on the scales' and I had tried to get on, but... I DIDN'T FIT'!

Franny said 'off' and we turned around and tried again - still didn't fit; Franny said I was a big DILL and that I had to look where I was going - But I did look - and there wasn't enough room!!!

'Come on, lets try again' said Franny as she put my front feet on the black mat- 'yeah - I can get them on -but there's not enough room to get the rest of me on'; then Franny held my front feet on the mat and pushed me sideways- she didn't hurt me - and - guess what - got the back half of me on - CLEEEEVER - oops- a leg slipped off - but Franny managed to get it back on, "Good Dog" she said - well of course I'm a good dog - but it appears that I'm a BIG dog as well. Renee, the nurse laughed and then she said' WOW 63kgs - you have grown a lot, and your such a good boy, would you like a treat?' well - is the pope a catholic??? So I sat and Renee kept giving me treats until Franny said I'd had enough. I gave them both very sad looks - Franny laughed and said' good try Harves'!

Then Noel and Simon the Vets came into the waiting room so I stood up and wagged my tail whilst they said hello.

I don't know why some dogs don't like the Vets - it's the best place.
Anyway - Back in the car and then Franny said we were going to Puckle Street - well that's another storey.

Rooroooo
