A dog biscuit a day keeps the doctor away

I am pleased to report that both God and Leonardo Da Vinci were with me yesterday as I took Piper and Mabel to the vet.

It also helped that I took them to the dog park for an hour before their appointment and let them run out all their nervous energy.

Of course they still plotted their escape once we were in the waiting room at the vet’s office.

But after they’d gotten all their vaccinations and several treats as bribery, they were all smiles.

Even though Piper may have felt a little insecure because she weighs twenty more pounds than her sister. Which might explain why she growled at a Pomeranian on the way out.

And of course Mabel wrote a couple of haikus about the experience after she came home.

A trip to the park!
Wait! Now we’re at the doctor?
Why must people lie?

I know this game, won’t be fooled
