ralphie’s annual vet visit

Ralphie had his annual appointment last week. We discovered at last year’s tooth extraction that he does better if he’s not pre-sedated when I take him to the vet. He’s too smart and realizes that something is up. This year, I didn’t give him anything before his annual appointment, and he did great! I think we finally have the process figured out to his satisfaction.

He’s doing well. No issues so far, other than turning into a sugar face (he’s only 6!). He had a couple of lumps tested, but they were lipomas, and he barely needed his nails trimmed due to the scratch board I made him. Hopefully, we won’t have to go back for another year–I hate having to sedate him for his appointments because he’s out of it for a few days after that.
