I don't really mind taking the dog or cats to the vet any longer. I have been with the same vet for over 20 years and trust them completely. I find the pets do not stress as much if I am calm. I guess maybe that is why Casey has never minded going to the vet.

The thing I hate most about going to the doctor is waiting! First you go in and sit in the waiting room, then you go to the exam room and wait. I have mild anxiety and to sit in that room for more than 10 minutes I want to climb the walls. One time my doc made me sit in the exam room for over an hour. I was livid. I ended up leaving before he came in. The nurse was like "oh, hasn't he come in yet?" She knew darn well he hadn't. They could at least tell you what is going on. I think it is so inconsiderate. I see the nurse practitioner now instead of the doc until they make me see him. I have to go for regular check-ups because of blood pressure issues.

I hate the scale too. I think it lies.

Just try to relax. Hope your visit goes well.
