I've gone for a few walks, and to be honest, I'm not sure I get it yet. I'd rather play in Jeff's backyard. They've just been short walks so far. I pretty much stop at each driveway or new lawn to sniff around.

...and, of course, I love to grab my own leash and lead myself! This picture is during one of Jeff and my lunchtime walks.

Just
playin' outside...
sniffin' for sticks and leaves.

I got to meet
Nisa's cat Sydney Thursday this week. I am
very intrigued by her. She's smaller than me so I chase her around, trying to jump on her, and nipping at her. But...she's so much quicker and more agile than me. She can jump up high on furniture, like you see in the picture above, which, even if I was allowed, I wouldn't be able to do! So we start out pretty chill, smelling each other, check each other out...then I get too excited and she runs away. She'll run upstairs...I can't climb stairs yet. Crap! And she bats at my face with her paws and hisses! Of course, this just gets me more excited...
Nisa and Jeff say I haven't learned my lesson yet, but I just want to play with her! Overall? I'm excited about the new addition. Will we be good buds? I don't know...I'll keep y'all posted!

Here I am on the exam table at my first visit to the vet with Jeff and
Nisa. I met Dr. Fox at
DePorre Veterinary Hospital. She was great...she spent lots of time with us and answered all of our questions and read the letter that Melissa wrote to her and respectfully considered her thoughts. Honestly, I slept for most of the time that Jeff,
Nisa, and Dr. Fox were talking. Then came the exam. She checked my coat for fleas...negative!! She listened to my heart, looked at my teeth and gums (like Jeff does!), felt my abdomen, felt my boys (nice!), looked in my ears, checked out my paws...and whole bunch else. I have been scratching a bit this first week...not a ton, but I could see that Jeff and
Nisa were concerned. Dr. Fox swabbed my ears and found that I had a very minor ear infection so I got put on some
prescription ear drops for a few weeks. My paws had two very small red spots on the skin, so they checked those out under the microscope as well and everything was
ok! Jeff bagged my poop and we'll get the results from the analysis on Monday...my guess, is the results will come back as "stinky". I was due for my next vaccination in 3 days so we just went ahead and did it today...I did great! I think they're going to take good care of me there. Overall, a nice first visit!
