Hi Guys! Nymeria here. The other day my humom took me to this really scary place called the vet! Mia said she’d come with me for moral support but really I think she just wanted to come to show off! Yeah…that’s right…show off. She LOVES going to the vet. She thinks it’s some kind of social event where she can say hi to everyone and get treats.
She kept running around and jumping up and down off the bench.
I, on the other hand, was looking for the nearest exit!
Nymeria: Is this how I escape? Mia, help me get out of here!
Mia: Oh relax you big baby. The vet office is fun!!! Let’s get this party started! Where are the treats!
Mia: Mom, why is Nymeria so scared? Doesn’t she see how fun the vet is? Everyone is so nice and gives us yummy things to eat!
Nymeria: Is this what you call fun?? What is she doing to my ear??
Mia: Relax…Dr. Ong is just making sure your ears are clean and there are no infections. I love Dr. Ong! She’s the best! She’s so nice and caring and gentle. We’re super lucky to have her as our dog doctor!
Nymeria: Now what is she about to do????
Mia: Just chill man! She’s about to check your teeth and gums!
Nymeria: OMD! Now what is she doing?? Mom I’m scared!
Mia: Calm down…She is just checking all your muscles, joints and bones.
Mia: See? It’s all over now! That wasn’t so bad was it??
Nymeria: I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted from all that! GOOD NIGHT!
Overall, the vet visit went pretty well. My humom said I was very brave and by the end of the visit I was comfortable enough to take treats from everyone. There was even a vet tech in the backroom that wanted to come in and meet me. I guess Mia and Keiko are pretty famous at this place. When they heard of a new addition to the family they all wanted to meet me.
Mia said she was proud of me too and shared the bed with me a little bit the next day.
What do you think of the vet? Are you more cautious like me? or a social butterfly like my fursiblings Mia and Keiko?
Have a great weekend furiends!

We totally understand how you feel. The folks at our vet clinic are very nice and take really good care of us. Our My Margret and My Greg make it as easy on us as they can but none of us really like to go there. You did a great job, we’re proud of you. ~nose nudges Bonnie, Belle and Bess Pups

Thanks girls! 🙂 My humom says I have to go back this week to get a chip? I don’t know what that means but if it’s anything like the chips my humom eats I’m okay with that!

Sounds like you did great, even if you were scared at first. Glad everything checked out okay. Next time, maybe you can be more relaxed. My Tippy loves the social interactions before going into the dreaded exam room, but is not a fan of the exam either. She was okay until she had an ear infection and the exam hurt her. I don’t think she has ever forgotten.

Thanks! Yeah it was scary at first but near the end it wasn’t so bad. I’m sorry Tippy got hurt during her exam! Ear infections do not sound fun!

Oh sweet girl. My sister is pretty chill when it comes to the vet, I get a little wigged out when they start poking and prodding but mom give me treats and ear scritches when I’m done. But I always keep on eye on the door way too. For a first visit, sounds like you get a gold star. Well done! ⭐️

Yeah, we never take treats from the vets. Not even from mom. She has to wait till be get to the car and forget about how they terrified us.

Mia, you and Lucy, once again, are just alike. Ny, you did much better than Riley, believe me. You won’t be nearly as afraid when you have to go again. Yes, I said go again. 🙂 ❤
