Anyway, I went for my yearly checkup and vaccination ... which was quite nice, as I get to "meet" other dogs where we "sniff out" each other, and I met a real cute "chow chow" called "Cha Cha" ..... and that was fun ...
The vet was happy with my progress, as I've lost about 4 kgs., (did you hear that Aunty Belinda ... 4 kgs.~!!!~ yeay! ) and he said that my heart's pretty strong for a gal my age (errr hmm .... I'll be 13 this July ....).
B - U - T..... when we reached home and Mummy lifted me out of the car, I was in so much distress and was crying out in pain. I ran straight for the grass and was digging my face and body into it to try to "rub off" the pain. My whole face was swollen and bunged up, and my skin had turned a SCREAMING shade of pink !!
Mummy panicked, as everyone knows I'm a quiet dog, so when I whimper and cry .... they know something's REALLY wrong.
We had to drive ALL the way back to the vet to get an "antidote", as he said I had an allergic reaction to the vaccination. My heart was racing, and I just couldnt move, and Mummy refused to move me from the car, but requested the vet to please come out to the carpark with the injection. Phew! Thank goodness for that ....
Inspite of the pain, I felt quite grand with the little commotion around me in the carpark ... and now, I'm back home. Had a little soup, and I heard the vet telling Mummy to keep me calm and comfortable as the injection would make me sleep for about 2 - 3 hours, so she's surrounded me with my favourite babies (I'm not kidding .... I do sleep with them like this very often) .... and I shall sink into blissful oblivion ......
I am now fast asleep with my babies, and hope to wake up feeling much better.
.... "What a morning ......."
