It's funny, but I don't think Tubby is afraid of dogs at all. He has never really come in contact with dogs except two times now when he's been at the vet. The first time was 1 1/2 years ago now. I was holding Tubby on my lap waiting our turn with the vet when this bouncy dog came out of one of the rooms. He was on a leash, and Tubby was too. The dog came bouncing up to us and sniffed Tubby. I was holding tight, waiting for the big hiss and slap with the paw, but all Tubby did was stick his face out further so he could sniff back. I was so proud of him. The dog's owner then realized what his dog was doing and reined him in, but I would have liked him to stay there for a bit longer to see what happened next.

The second time was just this morning. While Tubby was in the back having blood drawn and such, they put another lady with a big dog (Bear, I heard her call him) in the room next to me. He was fussing away, crying and barking. Right when I was leaving with Tubby, Bear got out of his room and they were trying to drag him back in. He was blocking the hallway so I had to wait until they moved him and, of course Tubby wasn't feeling that good, but he just looked interested as they passed by and the dog reached up to sniff him.

So he appreciates Bobby's hugs and kisses too.

Thanks everybody. I have an appointment at the doc for myself tomorrow morning, then we're off and running with our normal Saturday errands, so I'll post an update as soon as I can tomorrow after I hear about the blood tests.

Tubby's not going to get much sleep tonight with all the hugs and smooches he'll be getting from everybody. Thanks!
