The Red Man on exam table – calm on the outside
Oh Brother, I just hate my annual vet visits and I’ve been in Texas so long the old woman Slow decided we needed to find a vet down here and not wait to go to my regular Hottie Doc in South Carolina.. Incredibly, she’s managed to replace Hottie Doc with Santa Claus. Seriously. The guy at the Lake Country Clinic looks like he needs to be making toys at the North Pole instead of giving shots to unsuspecting Pups. Warning: avoid white-haired cheery Ho Ho Ho types with needles. Shit house mouse.
Poor Paw Licker Annie – she had to go with me
Paw Licker Annie went to the new vet’s office with me and wasn’t happy at all, bless her heart. Slow talked to Santa and his helpers for a very long time. Red needs teeth cleaned blah blah blah. Annie needs another round of antibiotics for her skin problems blah blah blah. The helpers are helpful and very nice and I like Santa so far, but I miss Hottie Doc. She made you almost forget you were at the vet’s office. Sigh.
What’s this? I’m actually gonna have my teeth cleaned tomorrow? Pisser. Weekend shot to hell. Santa better make sure The Red Man has adequate pain meds for this ordeal or our relationship might be in danger.
Oh, I wish Pretty was here. If Pretty was here, none of this would be happening. Save me, Pretty. The old woman Slow is Sneaky. She’s doing this behind Pretty’s back and The Red Man will suffer for her duplicity. Woe is moi.
Get me outta here Percy…I need to review my will…catch you later Sports Fans…I hope…

I feel for any of my brethren in pain…when painkillers are the only answer. Sorry about the Hottie Doc…to quote Bogie from Casablanca…sort of – “We’ll always have North Carolina.” Is this the same guy who got the degree in Santa Claus in the 1970s? This is catching on.

Yes, the brotherhood of pain makes strange bedfellows much like the images of the remaining 5 Presidents at the dedication of the Bush Library. Awkward. Party of five. And yes of course you are wise to remind me of the Bogie line in Casablance. It’s exactly what Hottie Doc and I will always share – except it’s South Carolina. 🙂 The vet is luckily not the same man who has the PhD in Santa Claus but could certainly be the inspiration for the chosen dissertation research.

I probably got confused about the Carolinas, but won’t admit it. Just thought I’d cover them both…there’s got to be a Hottie Doc in North C., tear in one eye, nose to the window of her office, pining away the hours until Slow, Red and the pack appear in the parking lot. A Santa PhuD is so Tennessee Williams, I should have known it was common bajar la linea de Mase and Dix.

Don’t worry about the Carolina Confusion. It reigns. We are the “lesser than” Carolina and never are remembered unless our governor claims to be hiking the Appalachian Trail while really hiking a mistress in Argentina. Oh, so that’s the Carolina you’re from. Isn’t that the same Carolina where Tammy Faye and Jim Baker had their Resurrection City? Oh yes, now I remember which one you’re from. The Santa PhD thing is so Tennessee Williams and la linea de Mase and Dix???!!! Hysterical. Gracias.

Wow, Slow really snuck that teeth cleaning up on you, didn’t she? Kind of like how the vet tech sneaks up on you with that thermometer. Maybe Slow can make it up to you by providing lots of soft treats through the weekend. You could promise to share your pain meds wit her. 🙂
