Another Mission Possible is behind us. This time I got the early Monday morning shift in the ER. It meant that I had to get up super early. I was also the only Dogtor on duty. At first, we seemed to be off to a rough start as our usual parking spot was taken by a big truck. The truck was not only big but also made a lot of noise. Turned out that it was a mobile shredding truck. I guess secret missions require the shredding of lots of papers. Luckily, my magic harness, Dogtor bandana, in combination with frozen carrots hand delivered to me at the exact right time, gave me Popeye strength. This helped me to make it past the truck and into the building without further ado.
Today, the waiting room was nearly empty and there were not that many patients in the ER. It made my job a lot easier and I was pretty much single-handedly able to keep everything under control. Those things that are not patient related are not always easy to circumnavigate though. For that reason, I’m always looking out for unusual things. This time there was a garbage cart out of control. All of a sudden it came flying towards me from around the corner at the nurse’s station. Its speed was dizzying and the human it had in tow was practically centrifuged into the air. Thankfully a handful of frozen carrots gave me another Popeye boost and imminent danger was easily averted.
Once we got the junk out of the way and the patients were taken care of, I had time for the nurses. I love the nurses as they always enjoy my reversed Reiki therapy so I tried my best to give them my all. After we completed my ninth undercover super-secret-mission, we had to make two more stops in town before we could drive home. At home, I almost immediately fell asleep and practiced Zuluism for inner balance and Zen.
Yours truly,
Benji
You look very wise in the picture

No it’s not the carrots…it’s the angle in which the picture was snapped. That side is your strong side…the other side is your emotional side….the two meet in the middle to make a complete doggy and you are one complete doggy. Working as you do Benji…you must get exhausted.

We’re still learning but have figured out if Sam got pet a lot at the hospital, he’ll totally be crashed for a very long nap when we get home. Gotta re-charge and even I’ve had to take a zen nap after particularly intense visits.

The great thing is that doggies are allowed to take long power naps.

Thanks! And yes they do… one small error could result in a dangerous affair. Especially the floors are scrutinized as they could contain poisonous stuff into which I should never stick my nose.
