Good vets have to have a lot of skills - good medicine, good surgical techniques, good people skills, good with animals. [In Dr. L's case, she also has to be tolerant of a blogging client, LOL!] Lori has it all going on, and if I was living in Marietta (and wasn't a vet myself) I would want her for my doggie doc!<BR/><BR/>~Kathi, wondering if Chet consulted his doctor about the tension in his buttKatDochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-82171069155449168412008-10-30T06:36:01.652-05:002008-10-30T06:36:01.652-05:00He does too tremble, Mare. But the second the exam is over he is washing Dr. Lutz' face. And what I love is that she lets him!<BR/><BR/>I am a member of the More Germ Exposure is Good club.<BR/><BR/>KatDoc, Chet LOVES to go to We Luv (Heart?) Pets to get his Royal Canin chow because there are ferrets there in a Plexiglas box with holes in it. He stares fixedly at them, every cell on point. I have to pick him up, stiff as a board, and carry him away. If we think they're stinky, I can only imagine how intriguing they smell to a dog.Julie Zickefoosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-15747901093542971352008-10-29T20:36:33.557-05:002008-10-29T20:36:33.557-05:00I admire him. He doesn't tremble or try to hide. I LOVE HIM.<BR/><BR/>He's so intelligent. Mether is German.

I set her up in a dog crate in my living room. My two dogs (not my current ones) circled the cage, sniffing, and then came over to me.<BR/><BR/>"What is it, Mom? What is it, huh? It smells like a dog, but it sure doesn't look like a dog!"<BR/><BR/>(The conversation when I brought a ferret home to recover post-op is not repeatable on a family blog.)<BR/><BR/>~KKatDochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-90922187591321065662008-10-29T18:40:02.909-05:002008-10-29T18:40:02.909-05:00It's so cute the way Chet's ears are straight up when he's watching out the window and then flat down on his head while he's being examined. <BR/>Thanks Julie, a Chet Baker fix with plenty of pictures was a much-needed distraction from all the election stuff.RuthieJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-53859909096625145652008-10-29T16:01:29.783-05:002008-10-29T16:01:29.783-05:00Chet...it's a pekanese...kkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12022641022304772371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-74478662630947043352008-10-29T15:46:28.646-05:002008-10-29T15:46:28.646-05:00Chet and the vet. Good writing, you bet!<BR/>None of our pets likes the vet--our dog hates the (ahem) rectal thermometer. Come to think of it, the cats hate that too. Hmmm-I think I can understand why.KGMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-25697299241387043962008-10-29T15:43:08.172-05:002008-10-29T15:43:08.172-05:00"Doggeh shrinkage" -- now there's a zickefoosism to try and fit into a conversation. <BR/><BR/>Though I am grateful beyond words for good vets, I hate the moment at the clinic that you've captured here: when the happy, confident, sleek little fellow slips into apprehension and fear. It's a good thing they rebound on the ride home!littleorangeguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12654738679277701610noreply@blogger.com
