Saturday – 21 July 2007
I was up at 6:45 this morning.

It was of my own volition, this time. I agreed to go with to take Lightning to the vet. He howled and mewed the whole way there. And while we were sitting there waiting to be seen. Once we got into an examination room, he settled down… a little. He roamed around the room, exploring all of the places he could get to, which turned out to be most of the room. He was still a little skittish, as there were many sounds coming in from other parts of the office, but as I said: “he calmed down.

Until the nurse took his temperature.
(Do the math… it’s not hard to suss out why he wasn’t happy about that.)

I like the doctor we saw. He was good with Lightning and he listened to what we had to say and gave us constructive feedback on what to try. I give him a thumbs-up with an okay.

After dropping Mr. “They took my temperature WHERE?!” at home, it was on to Einstein Bagels to get breakfast-type foods. I haven’t been to Einstein in a while; it was a nice change of pace. And, as a note: Their omelette bagels are pretty tasty.

Back home for some down time. Naps are good. And now, errands!

Namaste.
