    I take Duke and Champ together. I have not tried all three yet as the older two are not due again until November. But if it works out that Chopper is due around the same time, I will give it a shot. Duke thinks everyone in the vet is his best friend and Champ is scared to death and sits right next to me shaking. If I have to take Chopper to then he can sit in my lap. Neither one of them are barkers at the vet, Duke just does the boxer-wiggle trying to get everyone to pay attention to him But I almost always go alone-never a problem.

    On occasion I have been know to speak Chopperese.

    I have taken in 2 at once. Grant and Maggie and I have to wait outside since Grant likes to bark the entire time. I prefer just one but Grant and Maggie are due at the same time.

    Haven't tried with all three. Freckles and Dudley go to their vet, Finn to his. I'm sure I could take the three of them, though. Little ones in one hand, Finn in the other.

    One at a time for me, Pam. Katie does just fine, but Tori doesn't like going to the vet. She does what she is supposed to do but is also always trying to hide under the chairs and constantly has to be pulled back out. Once we pull her out she will lay there like a good girl and get her shot or whatever the doc needs to do but then it is right back under the chairs. She is such a goof.

    I have taken both dogs before & it wasn't too bad, but I really prefer
    taking them one at a time. Smokey & Maggie are both wildly happy to
    go inside the Vets office, but that wears off after the first 5 mins.

    Go for THREE!

    While Bowser was with us, we did THREE at a time!!

    Cinder "liked" Doc Mike from Day 1; when we "added" Smokey; he was at first
    terrified of MEN!
    Cinder went along for company, and Doc worked with Smokey on the first couple of visits.
    Soon Doc was moved onto to Smokey's "Favorite Folks" list, but Cinder & Smoke continued to
    have combined Vet visits on a Y-Thingy.

    Along came Bowser ... why change a good thing?
    I remember a few eyeballs got kinda BIG when ALL THREE of the Amigos
    dashed in the Clinic door hooked up on their Three-way Y-Thingy the first time ...
    But White Coat visits always went pretty well.
    There was often a <GASP> in the waiting room if someone had come in while we were
    all in the exam room ... THREE Dawgs dancing out, all tied together, must not be a
    super-common sight in Vet waiting rooms.

    The only "problems" we ever had were Cinder-related.
    "The Girls" sometimes "fumbled" the hook-up between the Y-Thingy and the exam-table tether ...
    Cinder never misses an opportunity ... turned loose, she'll go see the sights.
    She's managed to find her way into the Recovery Room more than once ...
    Lil Miss Sunshine sayin "HI" to all the surgical recovery patients. Doc always knew where to look!

    Last visit she got seperated from the other two and found a NEW place ...
    Doc stores the Prescription Food up on the scond floor of the remodeled "house" that's the Clinic.
    "HEY ... where's Cinder??"
    "Oh ... ya know, I think I heard her goin UPstairs! ... CINDER!"
    Doc suggested she might wanna go up and CHECK a lil harder ...
    Sure 'nuff ... "Here she is ... *sniffin* the cat food!"

    I guess now that we're back to only Two ... ... it won't be so hard to
    keep track of 'em ...

    Miss ya, Bowz!!
