Bad Dog!

Jabba had an appointment with the vet for a little, snip snip today. I knew as big and crazy as he is that it wasn't going to be easy getting him there, little did I know how difficult it would really be.

The trip there he rode in the front seat and kept trying to lay on me so I knew on the ride home I would have to put him in the back.

When I got there he jumped out of the jeep and then refused to budge. No dog likes the vet but most you can carry or at least drag in. Not Jabba. He dug in all of his 75lbs and refused to move.

Finally a nice gentleman offered to help and between us we got him up the few stairs and into the office. He got weighed and then when it was time to go back he dug in again. This time he was on tile, so with the help of one of the vet aids, I pulled and she pushed and we were able to basically slide him down the hall to his waiting room.

Whew. Done. I'm sure picking him up and getting him home will be much easier.....right?

Nope.

He bolted out of the office but once in the parking lot he refused to get up into the back of the jeep or get close enough for me to attempt to lift him. At one point he got out of his collar and proceeded to run around like a lunatic. A dog treat vendor took pitty on me and offered me some treats to tempt him with. Pppppfffftttt, treats, right. I took them but knew full well that Jabba could care less about treats.

Finally I was able to catch him and slip his collar back on but then he dug in again and we were on the other side of the parking lot not even near the jeep. Sigh.

This time a nice lady took pity on me and asked if she could help. She had me pull while she pushed and we basically between us carried that naughty dog all the way to the Jeep. Then she helped me lift him up into the back and close the door. Thank heaven for nice people!

I thanked her profusely and got in ready to roll. I grabbed the phone to snap a pic of Jabba in the back but before I knew it he was lunging over the back seat and bounding to the front seat.

What else could I do. Naughty dog and I drove home with him looking out the front window drooling on everything and me steaming mad and quite sure that I have pulled multiple muscles thanks to him.

Bad dog!!!!

PS- the only good thing to come out of this was he got his shots at the same time he got snipped. They asked if I wanted shots for one year or do the ones that last three..... Um yeah, after going through all this, yeah let's go ahead with the three year shots. I don't want to have to do this again any time soon!!!!!!
