Boomer's Mom

Momma put on my harness and my leash, and I thought we were going for a walk. Momma put me in the car instead, so I thought she was gonna take me someplace else for a walk. Oh boy!

Instead we stopped in front of a building that smelled like lots of other animals and funny smells, and I peed on the sidewalk.

We go inside, and it smelled even more! There was a doggy there I tried to make friends with, but he didn't want to.

Then, momma takes me into a room and I had to stand on some strange platform.

I got picked up and put on the table, but that was ok, the girl was very nice, until she held me tight and they tried to cut my feet off! I hollered and hollered, and the other lady had to put a muzzle on me because I started snapping and she didn't want me to bite anyone.

I guess they didn't cut my feet off, because they made me stand up, but then they shot me! That didn't hurt at all, but I don't understand why momma was letting them do all this to me, and telling me "It's ok, Boomer, it's ok." No it's NOT, momma!

And, and, THEN! I think they are vampires, because they took some blood out of my leg! They said they had to check for something called a heartworm. I've seen earthworms, and cicadas, and flies, but never a heartworm.

Then we had to sit and wait to find out if I had a heartworm, and the nice girl gave me a treat and I gave her lots of loves and kisses even though she tried to help cut my feet off. She told me I was a very pretty boy.

The test said I didn't have any heartworms, and I got some medicine so I don't get any. I wanted to see a heartworm, I like bugs, but momma said that I don't want this kind of worm, so I believe my momma even though I'm mad at her right now.

We went home and I got a big drink and now I'm sleeping on the floor.

Mean 'ole momma.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that momma said the platform I stood on was called a scale, and it sees how much you weigh. I weigh 48 lbs, which must be ok, but momma swears I weigh as much as an elephant, especially when I jump on her in bed.

Boomah!! i think your Momma took ya to the Dog Park. there's all these other dogs in the room, yes? i always try to play with 'em, like you, but my person says 'no, this is NOT the Dog Park.' hmmm, ok, i'm confused now.

BUT, i also get taken to the place where they cut your feet off!! it's called "Petsmart." kinda like a Dog Park too. it's the place where Woody hit on a gal and got to get smart with her. i always look skared. they take this machine called a grinder and do stuff to my feet. it's weird.

well, i hope your momma DOES take you on a walk soon. y'oughtta get more rewards and treats for putting up with all the tricks!

Momma said if it's a little cooler this evening we can walk, and she is giving me an extra treat.

Oh yeah, they also stuck something in my butt(!!!), opened my mouth and looked in it, and looked in my ears, and then the one lady stuck her hand between my rear legs! Really, now!

time to play this up for all it worth boomer. This time when Mommy gets the leash and harness run and hid she wiil be forced to get a treat to get you out from under the bed. She'll say shes sorry etc don't believer her act all scared and stuff of the leash and harness an you'll get ton's of treates and loving. You need to remind MOM that two can be a trickster as well.

Hi Molly,

Bessi and Smili here....Try the flat Basset pose and what ever you do....Don't move a muscle! Your mommy will have to scoop you up with a spatula...and I doubt that she has one that big!

That doesn't work so well for us as we are only 15 lbs so if we don't want to be pick up we scatter. Ha, dad has to chase us both around the house!
