Two Puppies

Teddie the dog and Jonah my 17month old grandson and I walked to the animal hospital today. The dog has been sick the last couple of days doing a great job of peeing in the house. I had made an appt. to take the dog when I didnt have Jonah but the dog was on my nerves. We walked the 3 or so blocks to the hospital. It was cold so Jonah was in his winter coat and plastered into the umbrella stroller. The blanket across his lap made him look like a little old man.

Upon our arrival Teddie started running around the waiting room. Jonah is loving this because he likes to chase Teddie when she has on her leash. Jonah decides to push the stroller around. I locked the brakes which then makes Jonah screech out of frustration. The nurse calls us in but I cant get Jonah, the stroller and the dog together thru the door so I hand her the dog. Jonah is still screeching at the stroller so I pry his fingers off it, leave it and carry him into the exam room.

The dog is hiding under the chairs, Jonah is pulling on her leash as the nurse is trying to find out from me why I am there. She takes the dogs temp which Jonah watches intently and I can see his wheels grinding....Teddie has a fever. The nurse leaves, Jonah and Teddie want to follow so they are clammering to open the exam room door to escape In walks the doctor. Jonah wants to be picked up then let down, he wants Teddies leash, then wants out the door. The doctor is very nice and tells me there is nothing wrong with the dog. She is very healthy, just a fever, gives me antibiotics. We are free to go which was great except that we crossed paths with other dogs. Jonah loves dogs. They are all "teddie." While I wait to check out I let Jonah push the stroller with unlocked wheels. Jonah proceeds to open the door with the stroller and Teddie gets out. With everyone back in, the cost is $77! Jonah lets Teddie out again, so one lady throws me my receipt and another one grabs my coats and hats and helps me get Jonah and Teddie together for our walk home.
