My Vet also owns a pet shop called "The Barking Lot" and they offer reduced cost vaccinations on the first Tuesday of every month.
Rascal was overdue for his shots so I made up my mind that today was the day!
He is so good about going in the carrier - not so good about riding in the car. Lots of plaintive cries coming from this box!!
I carried him into the store and paid for the vaccinations and then we stood in line. Ahead of me was a woman who had brought her whole herd in at once. She was dealing with a cat in a carrier and left her dogs off leash. Her Doberman came right up to Rascal's cage and stuck her nose in to see Rascal.
The Doberman was somewhat out of control and kept taking chew toys off the shelf and the woman kept saying "Oh, I will pay for that and that and that............."
Next it was my turn - and as I put the carrier on the table - the smell hit me. The Vet mentioned it too and as I took Rascal out of the carrier - there it was - he had peed all over the carrier.
This is a popular place and there was a line behind me waiting "patiently?" while I raced around to find some towels to clean up Rascal and the counter and the carrier which was swimming in pee.
When I brought him home and let him out of the carrier, the look on his face was wonderful. "I AM HOME!! I REALLY AM HOME!"
All I could think of to say is "if you had a Doberman stick her nose into YOUR CAGE - you would pee all over yourself too!"
Nothing against Doberman's here - but I don't think Rascal has ever met one before.
