I had to pop in to visit our veterinarian to receive some quotes for a neuter and spay for the two kittens our son Sam adopted. While I was there I figured I would schedule Ernie's nail clip.
Me .. "While I am here, I will schedule Ernie's nail clip."
Vet Tech .. "Oh my, is it that time already."
Me .. "I am afraid so."
Ernie is cute. He is a love bug. He will make you laugh. He will give you kisses. He will get cozy with you on cold days. He will bark when a stranger passes by, because he will do all he can to protect you.
But my oh my, don't plan on clipping Ernie's nails.
It requires TWO vet techs and a MUZZLE. It is in his file in BOLD INK!
Vet Tech .. "Yes, here we go, how about this date and time."
She gave me the date and time for Ernie's up coming nail clip.
And on the day of his nail clip.. she had the day off.

LOL wow about the Vet Tech scheduling Ernie on her day off!!!!! A lot of dogs do not like to get their nails clipped! I am sure little Ernie wants to take the day off too lol! Give him a big treat when he gets done. Have a good week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeletePoor Ernie! There’s a file on Laydee at the vet for nipping a technician back in her younger day. Oh and Laydee is blacklisted at the groomers at Petco because she growled and showed her teeth - (back when she was younger) and they have a zero tolerance for that! She’s banned for life.
ReplyDeleteDogs just being dogs. When you think of it, it’s not natural for their nails to be clipped. Ernie knows this but unfortunately he doesn’t live in the wild. LOL
Bahaha! This just made me laugh. So true. We had a (sweet as good be) good boy until it came to the groomer. He was not having it. One time I went to pick him up and she asked that we not bring him back!?! Expelled from the groomer. So sad...and a bit funny!
ReplyDeleteHe does sound like a very sweet dog. Sorry that he has that issue with his nails being cut. That's funny that she will not be working that day.
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny! You look so cute in this jacket and cap! But of course, Ernie is stealing the show!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, the vet tech is getting her revenge on some other vet tech. lol...
ReplyDeletePoor little Ernie. In a way, he's been black listed in his own files. lol...
Hugs, Julia
Oh dear. Poor Ernie.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it was a coincidence that she had the day off the same day as the nail appointment? He can't be the only dog who does not care for that particular act bestowed on him... Ernie is adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I had to chuckle that his appointment is on her day off :) Too funny, but not funny. Our lab was a struggle just getting her in the vet's front door. He definitely is a cutie tho, how can you not love that face.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I must admit I don't know how behaved Nicholas is during his nail clippings, because they're part of regularly scheduled grooming sessions. I just drop him off and pick him up later. Poodle mixes have to be trimmed and groomed every couple of months. Pros and cons. A pro is that they don't shed. Sounds like Ernie is a keeper in most other ways. :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking she might call out sick that day! Oh poor Ernie..he knows what he does NOT like!! Poor baby, I'm sure it's traumatic for everyone. I have learned to cut Willow's nails myself and she is ok with it but doesn't love it, that's for sure!!
ReplyDeleteThat's one very smart tech.
ReplyDeleteOh Carla, Ernie IS cute! I want to give him a big hug. That is such a delightful picture of you and him taking a walk. I love your blue jacket and the color! Getting Ernie's nails clipped will not be an easy thing, but it will be so good for him AND YOU afterwards. I love that wall plaque in your home too. Dogs are such loyal companions, it's hard not to spoil them once in a while. ; )

Ernie! How funny she scheduled it for her day off.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny! I guess we all have something we're not fond of at the doctor. I hope it isn't/ wasn't too terrible...and kittens? How fun!!
ReplyDeleteErnie is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
