Dog shamed me

Our dog started limping last night so off to the vets today. She is a lovely Lurcher Greyhound Saluki cross. As soon as we got her there she started shaking and trying to hide under the chair. When inside the room we had to put her on the table. She was shaking so much the table started rattling then she did a complete Scooby doo and jumped into hubbies arms and hid her face whilst trying to sit on his shoulder. The vet couldn't giver her the antibiotic injection for about 5 minutes because he was laughing to much.
He did say though lurchers are not well know for being brave

  • Ha ha .. brought back memories of the greyhound I had some years ago .. a huge stocky hulk of rippling muscle - and it took three people to pin him down on his side and lay over him just so I could clip his toe nails ... !!! Accompanied by much high pitch yelping and howling, and this was before I even opened the clippers to do the job ... LOL ... gotta love these dogs ... !! Such babies ... !!

    Oh that made me laugh. My lurcher is such a scaredy cat but even he's not that bad.
    We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing.
  • We have a lurcher and he was also at the vets today as he has a corn on his pad, the vet took the top of the corn off today to try and ease the pressure and he just let him, no howling, no crying,yelping or weeing :) very proud of him today as he is normally a wimp too. Hopefully you can see him below resting lol
