Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

... Day 2, having taken only 2 half anti biotic tablets as prescribed by my new vet, I succeeded in not getting Ted up in the middle of the night. I also did not need to rush outside when everyone woke up either. I guess the pills must be working so I'll finish the course and hopefully we'll hear no more whining in the night from me:-)
I think I like this new vet - even with all the poking and prodding. Not only was she very nice and found out what was wrong with me but she then showed Ted and me around her new practice which seems to have just about any facility a busy vet might need to administer to the needs of her furry customers. It's very reassuring to know that whilst Ted has to go to Aransas Pass or Corpus to get his broken limbs X-rayed I can have mine done here in Rockport; not that I'm planning on breaking anything!

Yesterday was a full day, not only did Ted have to go to work at the Evil Empire in the morning where he had quite a successful day actually, but then we all went out to visit Bella and Buddy in the afternoon for a BBQ. Yum, yum, woof, woof and I got to have a big bit of hamburger (unseasoned) that was left over; I don't think Bella got anything. She was pushing me around again so she didn't deserve a treat anyway. She did take me to see the neighbors pond which had ducks in it so I couldn't resist taking a running leap into the pond to try and retrieve a duck. Well I am a bird dog! Unfortunately they all got away and I couldn't get out the pond without Ted's help. He said I should have come back when he first called me then I wouldn't be soaking wet and stuck in a pond - guess that was right.
Here is the proof:
