It\u2019s a V.E.T. day today! Oh the joys. I can\u2019t bring myself to actually say the whole word in one go. I love our V.E.T. I really do, she\u2019s being wonderful to me over the years, if you discount her odd tendency to squeeze my anal glands every so often, but it doesn\u2019t mean I should look forward to going. Having said that, the biscuits are good and we know which draw to stand by to ask for one. Anyway, I\u2019m going for a blood test to just check how I\u2019m doing, but our Mistress has asked that I have a bit of a medical while I\u2019m there. I know she\u2019s right. The fatty lump on my shoulder has got a lot worse as have the swellings on my thyroids. What is bothering our Mistress though is the pattern to my bad days. If my left eye is red and weepy then it coincides with me having a bad day all round, barking, not being able to settle and being a bit confused. I don\u2019t look at myself in the mirror so I don\u2019t get to see it, but she says it\u2019s a definite pattern. She says it\u2019s as though there is something causing pressure and has asked me to explain how I feel, which is always a difficult one. I just put it all down to old age. Mind you, given I seem to be in better shape than she is I don\u2019t really know why she\u2019s spending time worrying about me. Given how good our V.E.T. is, I did wonder about asking her to give our Mistress a full medical while we were there. Someone needs to sort her out and the doctors don\u2019t seem to be doing such a good job. Perhaps we should switch her onto our diet and general fitness and welfare regime to see if it helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
