I took my dog to the vet today to get his teeth cleaned tpday. He was a great sport about it. Although he did not quite understand why he could not eat this morning. Our mornings always start with me letting him out to go to the bathroom and while he is out I put food in his bowl. Well this morning he didn't get fed because he had to fast because he was going to be under anesthia today. When he came in he look at me then his bowl several times before he realized I was not going to feed him. Poor guy he did not understand. Around 7:15 I took him to the vet he did really great until we pulled in the parking lot of the vet hospital and he started to whine. He was soon ok, because there was a pen full of 8 week old Brindle puppies. The receptionist got one out for Brutus to play with while I filled out the paperwork for him. Then I had to say goodbye to my puppy. Around 2:3o I had my dad pick Brutus from the Vet. I did not realize how much this takes out of a dog. He has been sleeping all day long. He just wants to snuggle. He is not his usual hyper self. But he is now eating and drinking. OK I am so thankful we do not have to have anesthisa when we go for a routine dental cleaning.
