Mac Meets Dr. B

June 20, 2011

Today Mac had his first vet visit with my favorite medical professional, people or vet, Dr. Bracken.
Mac weighs 55 pounds and according to Dr. B, is not too skinny, like we thought.

In Dr. B's expert opinion, Mac is about one and half years old (a baby to us) and mostly lab with a little German Shepherd mixed in.

Grace had a list of concerns for me to ask Dr. B.

He answered them all and even sent homework for Grace...brush Mac's teeth and collect a stool sample.  Ick on that last assignment.

Mac just wanted to play with all the critters, a cat and 3 dogs, we ran into.  No one would reciprocate.  : (
Maybe it's his dog breathe.
He is just about the friendliest pup I've ever owned.
He did not relax in the exam room while we were waiting...he wanted to smell everything and tried to sniff through the door.

It was a successful visit.  Next Mac will go to obedience school.  He's a runner and a bit of a jumper when people come through the door...bad doggy.   But other than that, he's a great dog.  We are very lucky.
