My trip to the vet’s

So I went to the doctor yesterday on account of I’ve gained weight and I have what mom calls a “wonky nippie.” The last time I went to a doctor it was just to a clinic where the doc does the basics and gives shots owies. This one was a real vet doctor – the one the Felines go to, and I have to tell you I didn’t like it – no, not ONE bit. Poked and prodded and things shoved into my ears, lights shined in my eyes – they even took some of my blood!! Horrors! And clipped my nails! Yikes! Oh – and here’s the worst part – I have to go back for surgery! Oh! Catch me, I think I’m gonna faint!! I don’t want to bore you with a bunch of words. Here’s some photos I took while there. They aren’t very good cause I was nervous. But I hope you like them anyway. Barkingly Yours, LadyBird 

This one I just found out I gained 2 pounds since February! Mom says it's the snacks plus the Doc says I have a slow thyroid.

Me, wandering around dazed after I found out I have a mammary tumor and when the doc removes it she's gonna spay me, too.

Doc says even though I'm going on 11 years old it would be better to be spayed - it will prevent some really nasty disease she described to mom. And besides - I'm not havin' no babies!!!

I have to make sure mom is gonna be okay - she's already gotten all teary-eyed at the thought of me

I have to make sure mom is gonna be okay – she’s already gotten all teary-eyed at the thought of me “going under the knife!” I’ll just have to reassure her I will be okay!

So, since I have gained some weight, and I have a touch of pancreatitis, I have to go on a bland diet. Yuk! but it's for my health. Mom saw the poster on pet obesity in the doc's office and found a copy online for you to enjoy!!

Mom saw the poster on pet obesity in the doc’s office and found a copy online for you to enjoy!! Oh, one more thing – the doc says I need bifocals to read and that I can’t drive at night. I think she’s  saying I have some age-related vision loss. Is she calling me old?
