the tushie man cometh








Tiny chumley's ever twinkly halo of lucky charms and green clovers took a temporary tumble off his head yesterday, falling to the ground with a giant thud the moment he saw the big white van pull up and stop.
  
nooooooooooooooooooooo, the little kielbasa barked in protest as he sensed this familiar impending doom. it is only april and i do not see the tushie man and his lady for another six months!

Baxter, of course, was right.  He wasn't due for his annual checkup til October.  But yesterday was special.  Yesterday was rabies shot day. And despite the fact that everything went quickly, and no tushie invasion was required, and friends were made again all around, the little kielbasa still decided to voice his discontent one last time after left the van and reached the top of our driveway.   Barking, in no uncertain terms, that it was time for this unwelcome disruption to his day to come to an end.  And guarding his precious tushie all the while.


it's been great, come back again - when pigs fly.  hasta poop-ego. don't call me, i'll call u.  uh-reeve-uh-poopies! smell ya later!

You tell 'em Baxter! Keep your mitts off the delicate merchandise, and don't come back unless you're delivering rawhide treats!

Thank goodness I had that surgery years ago and now, no tushie issues for me.

Woofs,

Ha ha ha ha. Thanks for the laugh! I sooooo needed it today, especially since I have to go to the dentist later! I guess it is better than the tushie man.....

Yep... I had a similar clamp-down-the-tail maneuver I used to use at the vet too. I guess it's universal. Glad you survived the visit, pal.

pawhugs, Max

Hey, Baxter! I'm Riley, Jordan's little sister. I've been reading your blog for like a month now, and I didn't know I could comment! But I can! Yay! I love all your posts especially 'this land is my land'. It Made me laugh out loud! Thanks for making my day!
Paw hugs & licks!

Oh poor Baxter! I'm glad your tushie was left alone! My Milo does not like that either (but then, what self respecting dachshund - or any other dog - would, I guess?). He doesn't hold any grudges against the tushie-person either, and at the end they are friends!
Visits are always better when ended with treats, too!

Biscuits & Kisses,
Whit & Milo
