Wow, another mission accomplished. I visited the emergency center again. This time I went with another Dogtor. Her name is Katrina. She graduated at the same time I did and she is already 15 years old. That is 3+ years older than my big sis and 10 times older than me! Isn’t that something?! Katrina is very calm. She loves to lie down whenever there is a chance. I rather sit and smile at people.
I’ve noticed that people seem to recognize me more and more. They call my name and want to say hi. They even want to take pictures of me. I got lots of practice at headquarters sitting still for a photo plus treat, so I always say “no problemo” [ed. as long as there are treats].
When we were done with all the Dogtoring, M and I went to an embroidery place. I went inside to say hi and gave them my blue bandana that will be embroidered with our logo. I will try to remember to show you the result as soon as it’s done.
Next on our agenda was the Pet Supermarket. Yeah, we needed more treats and another bag of food. M says that’s because one being in our household eats at least for two three. I can tell you that ain’t me because my tummy always feels like it could hold lots more yummies.
More pictures were taken at the Pet Supermarket too. This was nicely balanced out with treats. Thanks to the friendly lady assistant at the store who did notice that I could use some more. At the cash register, one of the shoppers asked if I was up for adoption. M didn’t know how fast to say no, pay, and practically drag me outside. I guess that’s an affirmative NO.
To sum things up, it was a productive day and I can rest assured that my forever home will be forever, ever after. How’s that for a good ending?!
Night, night and sleep tight,
Benji

Now, Benji, all good things in moderation, dear friend, and yes sorry, that does means snacks as well. You don’t want to have weight issues. No way! Slim and trim is the way to go. I’m proud of you! Woof!! ❤

Congrats on another successful mission. Way to work that whole treat thing. Sam tends to play on the gullible at hospital too. Nurses seem to be an especially easy target. They just seem to melt when ‘dogtor’s turn on the canine charm. 😇

Yesterday it seemed we were mostly there for the nurses and it wasn’t even nurse’s day 🙂 . They do need some stress relief in the ER unit so it’s all good.

Boy do they ever and we are happy to indulge them. I think the smell of illness is finally getting to Sam; he seems to enjoy staff and visitors more often. 😉

Good for Sam. The unusual noises are still intimidating at times too. I was planning to watch “ER” or something with Benji. But you’re right and I never thought about that, the smell must be totally overwhelming to them. I guess there will be many more treats in Benji’s future 😀 to deal with that. M

Noises never seemed to bother Sam, but I notice, the more we visit, the more engaged he is with nurses and visitors. At first it kind of bothered me but then realized they need pup relief too so don’t have a problem with it anymore. Treats are always good whether they come from nurses or patients. 😍

I am now hauling carrots with me (besides other treats…). The carrots seem to work well as these are not as messy and Benji just loves them. The “look” command and showing a carrot is an easy distraction from anything that is unusual.

Ooh, I like the idea of carrot bits. Sadly Sam isn’t big on veggies, unless Elsa’s around. 😉

Too bad. A colleague of mine gives frozen green beans to her dog. Benji does not like those but maybe Sam enjoys another vegetable.

No, he despises veggies and fruit, but will eat ’em when Elsa is around, but not otherwise. [he can’t let little sis out-do him on snacks]
