Riley and Sheba

[tinhuvielartanis]

We have an appointment with Dr. Patch to talk to him about Riley. Riley has suddenly become very aggressive and doesn't seem to want to move. He's even growled at me when I attempted to move him on the couch or persuade him to go out to the bathroom. I've gone over his entire body to see if he may be in pain, but I haven't been able to find a thing. If anyone can figure out what's going on with Riley, it would be Dr. Patch.

We're also taking Sheba along so Michelle can express her glands. The poor dog has gland issues and begins to lick herself enthusiastically when it's time to be expressed. Aunt Tudi adores Sheba, but I find the pup plain unpleasant. This doesn't mean I won't shower her with all sorts of crazy-mad love, but I must admit that Sheba just isn't my favourite.

When we go to the vet's office we're taking a large deli sammich tray for Dr. Patch and his intrepid posse. I always try to do something nice for those folks because they're good to me and my beasties all year long.

I'm heading back to bed for 2 or 3 more hours.

Riley.....

My dog Max started doing that growling thing too.
Turned out he had a massive EAR infection. He could not hear, so everything began to be a threat to him. He just wanted to quietly lay in one soft spot and not have to be *the Dog*, guarding me and the house, having fun with the kids, slapping his companion gabby around.
Hope you find out what is bothering your furry one and also pray it isn't something very long and drawn out!

Thanks dahlin'. I'm working on some behaviour modification right now. If that doesn't work, we'll be checking his testosterone levels.

Patch up the doggie!

Poor Riley! I hope the aptly named Dr. Patch will be able to make Riley better in no time.
