Tigger's Tale

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Hi to all my doodle friends - I finally get to tell a story.  You know Roo has Addison's disease.  I love him and am glad that he is just fine, but Roo gets to go all by himself to the vet - lots.  The stories he tells when he gets home!  We love going to the vet, there are always kitties in a cage, wonderful intense smells, treats and of course all the girls know us and love us.   

Every time Roo comes home he goes on and on about the new cat Chester, who likes dogs, and how he got weighed and hugged and gave lots of kisses.  Now I am not much of a kisser myself and I have much better manners than Roo and never jump up, but I do love to have my ears scratched and be loved.  Plus Ian comes and takes Roo to the back of the vet's.  We love Ian, he's the best - he is so quiet and friendly.  Then in the back  there even more people to love on him and he gets cheese from a squirt can. (Editor's note: Roo gets a little dab of squirt cheese during his shot, so he never even knows that he gets poked.)  We don't even have cheese in a squirt can, but it sounds wonderful.

Well, finallly...... I got to go to the vet by myself. I didn't get any breakfast which was confusing, but I got to go in the car all by myself.  At the vets  I met Chester and he is so much fun!!!  He likes to play just like a dog.  What a cat!  I got weighed and told I was a good dog and got lots of love and ears scratches.  Then Ian came to get me - just me.... sigh!  Sometimes being Roo's brother is tough, he gets all the attention because he is so pushy and wiggly and well I hate to say it about my own brother, but RUDE!  Mom has told him a thousand million times to sit for pets, but no he just pushes right in.......

Where was I?  Oh yeah, so Ian takes me to the back of the vet's and I get the cheese from a squirt can!!!   And then.... well I don't remember anymore....... until Ian is taking me back to Mom.  I'm awfully sleepy, and Ian lifts me into the car.  Then we are home and .......   I do get dinner and my mouth feels different.  I have gotten a piece of cheese at breakfast and dinner  every day since my wonderful visit to the vets by myself.  My tongue is used to my new mouth and I really can't remember why it felt different for a day or two.

And that's my story.

(Editor's note: Tigger, as you may remember will chew up anything and he broke a small top front tooth right down to the pulp, probably chewing a rock, but really it could have been anything.  He had to have the tooth pulled before it abscessed.  Thanks to his mustache it doesn't affect his charming smile!)

cheese! wow, you lucky dood! Milk it for as long as you can. My Mommy wont let me have cheese :(. Love Cooper!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Tigger, We are so glad you got to go to the vet by yourself and have cheese.  Our vet never gives us spray cheese so we are going on strike til we get some (whatever it is). We are glad are feeling back to normal too.

P.S. I, Ned, had a sore mouth for a couple of days but my sore mouth was before I visited the vet and got sleepy.

Glad to hear Tigger is Ok and that he enjoyed his misadventure. : )

[BG and Gavin]

Well Tigger, it is super great to hear from you.  I know it is usually Roo Reporting, so I am glad you stepped up.  Hope your mouth is all better now and you only chew on the things you are supposed to from now on.  Hugs to Roo as he deals with Addisons.  I hope he is doing okay.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Loved your "tale", Tigger!  I'm so glad that you got that broken tooth taken out AND got the cheese from a squirt can! 

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Jackdoodle, the squirty cheese is very good, but not quite as good as chicken.  Chicken and fish are the best treats ever!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Tigger, they have that squirty cheese at the clinic where I go to get my laser treatment, but I never get any! I get chicken breast instead, which is not too shabby, but I would like to just taste that cheese. Was it good?

I am glad you enjoyed your visit to the vet all by yourself, but I hope you don't have to go back again any time soon. It gets old fast, believe me!

What a terrific blog and I enjoyed every minute of my reading!! Tigger, I am so glad you finally got that squirty cheese. Fair is fair :)

[Carol and Banjo]

Tigger,   So happy your tooth is fixed....it sounds like you enjoyed your "ordeal"!     (@Donna, LMAO!!!)

[Donna K & Quincy]

Tigger I'm glad you have that tooth fixed and that cheese in a can that makes you go to sleeps sounds like something I could use at night but I wouldn't want to wake up without my teeth.
