Tubby & Peanut's Mom

First of all I want to apologize to those with dial-up connections. I've been checking PT from home yesterday and today, and I can sympathize with the long waits for pictures to download. I got spoiled at work with the DSL connection. This dial-up stuff has got to go, but we don't have many other options right now, so to those with dial-ups, I apologize for all the pictures.
As I had mentioned, Tubby had his 6 month check-up yesterday. I have to take him in every 6 months so they can monitor how his kidneys are doing. I didn't get any results yet because we have to wait for the lab tests to come back, but inspired by all the nice comments on his Big Night Out thread, here's the tail of Tubby's Big Day.
Here he is ready to go. He doesn't know we're going to the vet, he just knows he's got his rope on which means he gets to go outside. "Let's go Mom!"

"Oh, I don't know, it's kinda hot in here. Can't I stay outside with all the good sniffs and grass?"

"Oh boy! Look at all this stuff! What is that big red thing, and who are those people over there! Oh boy!" (we were stopped at a light so I could snap this picture, but Tubby maintained this pose the whole way to the vet. He loves looking at all the action)

"Ok, I don't even want to be here. LET ME OUT!!! "

"Oops, gained almost 2 pounds (.9 kg) since I was here 6 months ago! I better get off this thing before they start mentioning the "D" word." And here I was worried that he was losing weight! Well, I knew his physic was changing, now I know why. :rolleyes: But this can only be a good thing. He is back to the weight he was before he started throwing up so much and was diagnosed with the failing kidneys, so something must be working right.

"Whew! Thank goodness that's over with. Hey, what's that over there?!!!"

"Ok, I'm tired now, think I'll take a quick nap on the way home. Mom's lap is the best, isn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I smell funny. I had to go to the durn white coat. Hey, how come you didn't have to go?!!!"

And that's the end of Tubby's trip to the vet. Shortly after the last picture, he crawled into one of his favorite napping spots and was out like a light. They had to take more blood than last time to do a full analysis of it, so I think he was a little more traumatized this time than last time. But later in the afternoon he was ready to go again, so I took him over to the motorhome with me. See part two coming soon. :)
