Maya: My Trip to the Vet


    Hi, my name is Maya, and my mom asked me to be a guest blogger.  I think she is too lazy to write seeing that she has slept probably more than me today.  Anyway, I jumped at the opportunity because I love to be the center of attention.  Plus, I've been working on a few tricks to show off.  I'm not really sure how I can play dead on a written blog, but I'm sure I can figure something out.
    Today was a little different than usual.  I still woke up at my usual time and got chewed out for getting my mom and dad out of bed.  I swear they are so grumpy in the morning!  I took care of some business outside because if I did it inside I get in BIG trouble.  After dad fed me, I climbed back into bed with mom and slept for what I thought would be our usual allotted time; however, her alarm went off early, and she started to get ready for the day.  During this time, I found an empty water bottle in dad's stuff, so I took it for a spin.  Mom played a little with me, but then she harnessed me up.  I get so excited when I am harnessed because that means I get to leave this tiny apartment.

    We didn't head outside for my dreadful walk but instead went to the car.  I love short car rides; long ones are a different story.  The smells and people passing by are so invigorating as long as we don't go too fast.  We parked at a big building and got out of the car.  I had no clue where we were, but I was with mom and felt safe.  We walked in, and the smell hit me.  We were at one of those places where you get poked and stuck with needles.  I immediately hopped in mom's lap and shook like crazy.  Do I ever hate these places!
    While waiting to go in, this old lady with an ugly cat (I hate cats) told a humongous dog to stop staring at her ugly cat.  The dog's owner said they had cats at home and that his dog was used to them.  The old lady told the owner that the humongous dog was not used to her cat.  The dog owner then told her that the ugly cat was in a kennel and his dog wouldn't be able to hurt her.  The old lady said she didn't want her ugly cat to be scared so to please keep the humongous dog away.  Stupid cats....and old ladies!  I don't very much care for humongous dogs, but that guy wasn't even close to the ugly cat!  Although, at least he was more interested in the cat than me.....

    Eventually, we went into a little room.  Mom put me up on a tall table and what seemed to be a nice lady said she was going to take my temperature.  She pulled out a long stick, and I thought, "This can't be so bad."  But then she stuck the thing up my butt!  Mom kind of laughed.  It was probably the expression on my face because I was not expecting that.  Nice lady my butt!  Luckily, it wasn't up there for long.  The Doc came in and did some checks on me.  Boy, did this suck.  I got three shots in my sides and one up my nose.  That last one made me sneeze a few times.  I mean seriously, how would you like it if someone stuck a stick up your butt and squirted liquid in your nose.  Not happy!  It was all good after because I got a treat.  I would probably go back if I knew that I would get a treat.  Well that was my day.  Have a happy Wednesday!.....I think I'll go take a nap now.....
