Tibby had a visit with the Vet today. Every time we go to the clinic we get a different Vet. Today we had a nice older woman with grey hair. She seemed a little nervous. I'm not sure why because, Tibby was the perfect patient. Tibby either stood perfectly still or buried her head under my arm.
While we were waiting for our appt. there was a woman with a Boxer and a man with a Pointer (in heat) in the waiting room. The lady asked me about Tibby, "What kind of mix is that?"
There is absolutely nothing wrong with mixed breed dogs, but the way she asked it made me so mad! Like her dog was so much better than my 'mixed' dog. Well lady, just because you don't know the breed doesn't mean Tibby isn't a purebred dog.
She also thought Tibby was a boy. Tibby was wearing a PINK collar and leash. 'nuff said.
While we were waiting I could hear the staff talking behind the desk. One of the vet tech's dog ran away this afternoon. She didn't seem too worried. She said her kids left the gate open when they came home from school and it ran away. She said it would either get hit by a car or come home. Really? I don't know what to think about that.
They took Tibby's blood for the first time ever. Tibby was a good girl. She held still and let them pick up her paw. She didn't move at all while they tried to find a vein - it took a couple tries.
Tibby's lyme test was negative. They'll call tomorrow with the heartworm and fecal test results. The vet tech didn't hold Tibby's paw long enough, to let it clot, and she bled on the exam table a little bit.
They almost gave her some vaccines, but I told them that she isn't due until August for some and Oct. for some other ones.
I also got the official weight and height measurements for The Guess Tibby's Size contest. The prizes are SO cute. I can't wait to show you!
