Gilbert the Good – free at last!

 

Gilbert the Good – free at last!

Free at last,

Free at last,

Thank the vets

I’m free at last.

I went see my friends the vets again this week. They said it was so they could check my tummy to make sure it was all properly healed. I think they just wanted an excuse to see me again.



Anyway, I don’t have to wear my puppygro any more – oh, the relief! Now, when I want to go out I don’t have to stand and wait to be released from my suit and then be snapped back into it when I come back in. Better yet, I can play and run and race and jump to my heart’s content.



On our way out of the vets’ surgery, Barry said he didn’t have any more biscuits in his pocket. I don’t know why he said that but immediately, I took him to the desk where the pet treats are kept and everybody was amazed and said what a clever boy I was. Not that clever, really, we dogs have an excellent sense of smell and extremely good memories. That’s particularly true of Labradors.

I’m a happy boy.

    1. Gilbert says: Pink isn't really my colour, though I suppose a really deep shade might be all right. Woof!

  7. That's great news Gilbert. And well done for locating the biscuit source.
    Gail wants to know if you are exhibiting any behaviour changes following your little 'procedure'?
    Toodle-oo!
    Nobby.
    PS from Gail: Nobby's rather 'overheated' evening sessions with his toy Sophie Snow Leopard thankfully ceased after his one year op.

  10. At least it's over now, and I liked you "dress", but probably if I would be a dog I wouldn't like it either !
