Chapter 31: Family. I wanted to talk to you about my veterinarian a little bit. Sometimes I get sick and sometimes the Professor just drops me off at my veterinarian’s office. Now I don’t mind it too much as they typically love on me, sometimes give me a bath, look me over real closely, check my back legs for arthritis (I don’t have clue what arthritis is), check out my teeth and ears, and they check out my paws. Now I do draw the line at messing with my paws and sometimes I get upset with them but they give me a bacon and cheese treat and all is forgiven. So, my “vet,” as the Professor calls her, is a good person as she takes very special care of me. Just like family.
The other day we went to visit a new “vet.” I have to admit that I was a bit nervous (yes, Beagles get nervous) and I made sure that the Professor went into the office with me. I was still nervous so I peed on the office floor. The new “vet” and a couple of assistants looked me over real well and then I went to sleep right on the table. The next thing I know I awakened on the same table but I was very groggy and I felt sore in my chest area. I didn’t know how long I had slept, but the best thing was that the Professor was right there when I awakened. That made me feel good and safe. That is what families do. I listened to the Professor talk to my new “vet” and he said the results of the biopsy will be back in a few days and he would call. I didn’t know what a biopsy was but I decided right then that it was time to go home and told the Professor that we should go. We got home just as Mom had gotten back from her office and she hugged on me and kissed me. She’s so special. Everyone needs a Mom like her, trust me on that.
Anyway, I also have other news for my fans. I noticed that the Professor and Mom have been loading the car and getting ready to leave and they have loaded some of my stuff so I know that I am going with them. They keep talking about the arrival of Baby Archie in just a couple of days. And they keep calling themselves Grandmother and Granddad. That is a new name for them. So I guess, Bubby Josh and Sissy Jess are having a baby very, very, very soon.
Apparently as soon as Baby Archie arrives we are going back to Indiana to visit. Honestly, I don’t like to ride in the car for that long but I will put up with it because I can’t wait to see Baby Archie. I will smell him, kiss on him, and lay right next to him to protect him. That’s what Beagles do, that’s what families do. So, stay tuned for more on Baby Archie.
