That is SO FUNNY!!!! Oni, you are really a kick, too. I can't say Maggie was scared - quite the opposite. She was over-joyed to see the Doc again. He comes in and kneels on the floor, and lets her lick his face. She has her exams on the floor, and since this time it was only her eye he looked at, he sat in a chair, she sat in his lap, "etc". So, part of the problem is that HE is letting her jump, paw, climb, and all that. I guess it's shocking to see your ordinarily-mellow, laid back and quiet little puppy acting like a sugared-up 5 year old kid at Disney land. :'( When we got home, she was zooming and tearing around the yard, with her ears all folded back and that wild crazy look in her eye....I guess she's got the "puppy-osis" after all!

This was the preface to a posting that Liz did a year ago. It looks like it might be the work of several.

Some who hadn't seen this before asked about it - so here tiz.
I didn't write the original and don't know who in fact did. Others have
added to it little by little and I also added pieces here and there.
It's a very workable programme for pre-teen dogs and especially those who
might be showing tendencies toward proving themselves as top dog or being
pushy with members of the family, or biting, mouthing too much, etc.
You cannot be wishy-washy with this course however. It must be carried out
and adhered to by all family members to succeed. Remember any dog who has
already bitten anyone, needs to have this repeated at least for a few days
each month to keep him remembering. A biting dog has already shown that he
feels no respect for humans so this kind of training is doubly important -
along with a regular course of obedience in a class situation.

That is so great!

I'm sure she just loves to hear you singing to her.

What a wonderful way to make a vet trip less stressful, for both of you!

Have a great weekend~

RE: Since music soothes......

I wrote this little ditty for Maggie and her next vet visit.
Sung to the tune of "Up on the Rooftop"

Up on the table, Maggie goes
Time for the vet to check her nose
Down to her bottom to get her temp
Hear all the screaming, while Maggie vents...
Yo-Yo-Yo hear Maggie go
No! No! No! Gwenna says WHOA!

Now do the toenails, clip, clip clip,
Being very careful, avoid the quick
She wiggles and giggles with flying feet
Not going to give you a chance to repeat.

Ho Ho Ho Maggie won't go!
So.. So.. So.. hear Gwenna shrill--
"The next time Maggie goes to the vet,
She can pay her own bill or be in debt!"

WOW! That is really a short, concise, and fantastic piece of information for anyone who owns a dog. It really puts in perspective the whole world from the dog's point of view. I realize after my experiences last evening at the vet with Maggie, that she needs to attend too. Thanks so much for sharing, Carolyn!
