Bella and I went to see the vet today, and our visit had more than one purpose... First, I wanted the vet to look at 3 small lumps on Bella's back, and secondly I wanted to say goodbye properly, since we'll probably (hopefully!!) have left Copenhagen for good before Bella's once-a-year vaccination is due around Christmas. :)
I brought a bunch of flowers for the vet just to say "thank you" for everything - she has been wonderful and I (we!) shall miss her very much. She has been Bella's vet for 10 years, and all day I've felt like we have just said goodbye to a member of the family... :(
Luckily, Bella's "lumps" were only warts and perfectly harmless, but our vet removed them anyway as a sort of "going away gift"! And Bella was fantastic! She didn't panic when the vet shaved 3 holes in her fur and even though all three warts had a local anesthetic before it was cut out and burned (burnt?), she didn't get hysterical!!! She was such a GOOD GIRL!!! And I was SO proud of her!!! :) :) :)
She was cross with me when we got home, though, and hissed when I tried to touch her. She has spent most of the day resting in her wicker basket on top of the cupboard and I have spoiled her with one of her favorites - tuna - for supper... ;)
In a few days time when she is no longer sore, I shall try out the new comb we got from the vet. I was quite embarassed when she combed Bella with it and it's metal teeth got full of old winter wool that I thought I had removed long ago... :eek: Sorry Bella!
Well, that all from us today! See you around!
Lots of love,
Sus and Bella
