The Writer's Right

I’m sure my vet thinks I’m totally nuts now.

Jeff’s mom found a little lump on Murphy’s neck on Sat. I couldn’t see it, but then Sunday at my mom’s I saw it. I was freaking out. (The Internet is so bad for medical advice - both pet and human.)

I have an appt. for Murphy on Thursday, but I wanted to talk to the vet. I missed his call yesterday and so I took a picture of Murphy’s lump.

I called the vet today and talked to my friend Lee, who is the office manager there. Dr. H is off today, but she said he calls in periodically. I gave her Murphy’s website address and asked him to take a look at it. Lee, being a pug owner of two herself, didn’t think it was at all odd that Murphy had his own website. In fact, she said that her Louie may be a bit jealous if he hears that Murphy does have his own URL.

Dr. H, on the other hand, may think otherwise. Then again, he’s been in the business for a while, knows a lot of pet owners and knows me quite well. This may be something he expects from a nut like me. We’ll see.
