See, Pouting Does Work

Apparently all of our threats and pouting did work as the humans put on my harness and took me for a truck ride! I was so excited, after last night's torture and then not going anywhere, I was certain that all of my pouting and threats of the claw had convinced them that doing that was totally wrong and they needed to make it up to me with a very special truck ride. I thought for sure we were going out for ice cream... oh no.

Off to the vet we went. Ok, the vet is NOT a special trip for me. I showed my displeasure by dumping at least a pound of fluff in the pristine human man's SUV, for which he accused the human woman of plucking me in his truck. I love it when I get those two arguing back and forth.

Unfortunately they didn't argue enough to forget why we were in the parking lot of the vet, so into the stupid place we went. We waited in a room for a long time and then the fun (NOT) began with the poking and the prodding and the squeezing and the light shining in the eyes, and the 'oooh you have tartar' criticism.

They took me into the back and some stranger stole my pee. You know, I'm more than willing to give them a pawtograph if they just ask, there's no need to go about stealing my bodily fluids all the time! Then I got stuck with a needle, they took some of my blood too! I shrieked like a banshee for them, just to freak the humans out and stir up the waiting room (they were warned not to put me on a table at least).

There was then a looong wait while they did something to my pee, so the human woman told me that we needed to go outside (hey, I just peed in a cup, I don't have to go, but if you do, do it behind the dumpster, don't embarrass me out in public). She took me outside and guess what!!!

There was my half sister Tashi!!!!
Ok, so maybe this wasn't such a bad vet visit, I get to see my half sister Tashi again! I ran up to her all waggy tail and she was happy to see me and we sniffed and well... that's about all. She said I never wrote or called, I asked how mom was doing, but as usual she never checked on her, its always me that has to call mom. I'm guessing she needs money for something again and Tashi isn't good with finances, so I'm always the one that has to come up with the funds.

Then the human women (Tashi's human woman is as bizarro as my human woman) just HAD to take pictures, and kept asking us to pose and sit (yeah right) and look at the camera and they were just oohing and awwing over us, it was pretty embarrassing out in public and all. Geez, enough already.

Luckily the human man came out and said that my pee sample was negative and that I'm all normal now in the pee area. The blood work will come back in a week or two to determine whether I'm just naturally big boned and fluffy, or perhaps I have a thyroid issue.

Tashi and I said good-bye, she asked if she could borrow a 5 until friday when her check came in, and I pretended that I didn't hear her. Never loan money to Tashi, she never gives it back, always with the excuses.

We came home and gimpy mutatoes sniffed me all over. Loki wants to meet Tashi, he thinks he stands a chance with her... I don't think so.
