Once again Lila & I ended up @ the vet's office to revisit an on going issue w/ her butt! When I pulled into their parking lot, I noticed a lady who was walking her Lab-a-doodle into the waiting room. Being of sound mind & body - I decided to walk my girl around a bit & then enter . Well, best laid plans of mice & men - the lady was still waiting in the waiting room along w/ a gentleman who had a greyhound seated @ his side. At first, peace prevailed ....but.....not for long! The Lab-a-doodle gave Lila the " stink " eye & it was on!!!! They both were lunging @ each other ( for a second I thought I had Bud ) & noises came out of both canines that I never heard before !
It took ALL my strength to knee Lila to the bench so she could not " meet " her new found friend. In this process - she even knocked over their lovely end cap that was advertising something for the office :(
All I could think of was.......... I NOW own one of those dogs I used to see @ the vet's office & felt very bad for the owners - yikes!
The staff was wonderful - even tho for a while there they could not hear their phones ringing & all commented on how beautiful she is - I retorted that I used to think so too.... BUT.... not today. I must add that the Greyhound was unfazed & simply remained seated by his owner - jealously can't begin to describe what I felt watching them!
We were finally led to an exam room where she quickly laid by my feet - poor thing was exhausted from her earlier meet & greet. She was very good w/ the vet & when it was time to leave, the tech made sure the waiting room was clear of any canine .....just in case Lila got a second wind!
