So here's what's up today.  Let me tell you, I am so humiliated!   I'll explain.  Mom had an appointment for the cats to go to the vet for the normal crap these humans think us animals need.  Do the humans go for rabies shots every year and all those other things?? Anyway, I couldn't go up the steps to bed last night  so mom had to carry me upstairs and put me on the bed.  Then this morning I didn't want to get up, my leg just really hurt, so mom picked me up, I screamed, and she almost dropped me.  She said, "That's it, Leonard is going to the vet today!".  I heard her call the vet and ask if they could add me to the cats appointment. She told them if it was a problem, she'd just switch me out with a cat.  "What you do mean?  Switch me out with a cat?"  I'm not a cat!  Anyway the lovely vet's office said they could squeeze me in.  I don't want them to squeeze me, that would hurt!!! 

Anyway, mom piled us in the car and took us to the vet.  She had Frankie in a cat carrier on the front seat and I had to sit right up against Frankie.  You know she's a CAT!  I hate being near them, they just freak me out!  Then Frankie is crying the whole way!  What a freaking baby she is!!  Sam is more grown up about a trip to the vet.  She was in a different carrier in the back seat and honestly I thought she had died or something,  I never heard her once.  Of course, I'm a big boy and I don't cry.  But it is humiliating having to go to the vet's office with cats and then in the office mom says stuff like, "Leonard, do you hear your sister Frankie crying?"  "HELLO MOM, she's a cat, I'm a dog, she is not my sister, she is the family's cat, she may be Sam's sister, but she's NOT my sister".

Finally when the vet comes into the office he checks me out first.  I should have bitten his hand!  He knows my leg hurts and he'll pulling on it and pushing on it.  I finally gave him one of those "If looks could kill" look and he stopped pulling on things.  He told mom that it's definitely my hip.  He said he is hoping it's just sore and I keep aggravating it.   He gave mom some pills to give me.  The vet said to keep me calm and don't let me play and run and be a boy like I like to be!   If it's not better in a week, the vet told mom to bring me back and they'll do x-rays.  What are x-rays?  Well, I'll worry about that next week.  I'm gonna try and listen. I'll try and rest and relax my hip but mom better keep that Penny under control.  Penny is usually the one who wants to play. 

Enough for now!   Have a great weekend!
Your friend,
Leonard
