First trip to the family Vet

First Vet Visit...

Well, the first Vet visit for his pre-operation check-up went very well for our boy. Darrin was great with him once we landed there. Getting him into the car wasn't too bad and to be honest I thought he'd freak since his previous trip was 12 or so hours long in duration. Even I would not have wanted to return to a car after that!

The stairway into the Vet Clinic wasn't too bad but the door took a bit of tugging and pleading to get him through. Major issues there for him so we expect that will be one of the last ghosts of his pass to melt away.

Once inside Beckett was understandably nervous but didn't act up at all. He was curious enough of what was going ont to keep him busy just watching all of the various activity happening with people coming and going. Darrin kept a very watchful eye and a nice soothing voice. I just kept flipping pieces of cheese at him. LOL

Although Beckett doesn't pull too hard, when scared he tends to go to the limits of the lead, and then lean away.. he does this as well on the floor when he is letting you pet him. We are amazed at his ability to counter balance without falling over!

This lady was very nice about keeping her distance after she found out he wasn't just nervous about being at the vet, but rather that he was a puppy mill rescue who was trying to adapt to his new life. We are getting great support from everyone we meet on this. Mind you, being cute as a button gets help in the matter.

Here he is standing in the doorway because he doesn't like being in areas where he doesn't have an escape route. I think he plans these things!

Oh, our boy is 30.5 lbs so he isn't too far down in weight, and his teeth look good which is a big help. His "date" back is the 15th at 8 in the morning so we'll have to be careful with him the

rest of the week until the stitches heal.
