Dog Blog 10 – Fit as a Butcher’s Dog

Went to see my personal physician yesterday. Just thought I’d better have a thorough MoT before my trot across Scotland.

To be honest, I could barely concentrate on the appointment. There were so many interesting smells in her surgery that it kept me busy all the time I was there. All the usual canine and feline smells, guinea pig, possibly guinea fowl and – I swear – a pong very close to crocodile!

I mean, I know they’re into exotic pets in Cheshire but……..crocodile! The mind boggles. I bet the vets draw lots for that appointment. Vets are pretty tough customers but giving a croc a check-up must be a very snappy business.

Anyway, she gave me a right good going over – checked my heart, muscles etc. All A1 apparently – though I expected no less. It started to get interesting when my pal Al asked about a special diet. My ears pricked up immediately but the vet said I was just fine. Well, thanks a bunch! Nobody thought to ask me. However, she did recommend Mars bars if I get really tired on the walk.

Good stuff! I shall be checking the number of Mars bars going into his rucksack……..not to mention extra Jelly Babies.

Woof, woof!
