The Trauma Facing Zeus
How can anyone look at that cute fuzzy face and want any harm to come to that little bitty dog?
My "darling" daughters, that's who!
It's not enough that Zeus went in for his annual check up yesterday trembling and whining...and that's BEFORE "they" took him behind the big door for the dreaded taking of the temperature (You know where) His terrified screams could be heard in the next county! "Bad Touch!! Bad Touch!!" And that was just the beginning.
Next...Judging from his cries for help, Dracula himself must have taken the blood sample (base line & heart worm check) It nearly made ME cry to listen...alone...waiting in the examination room.
But NOTHING can compare to the awful appearance of every dog's most terrifying nighmare: Needles!!! Three of them...(All necessary & I might add "routine" vaccinations)
"NO! NO! NO! Mommy!! SAVE ME! Can't you SEE what THEY are DOING!??" (All of this sounds different and much louder when a dog says it, by the way)
He Squirmed, Rolled, Pitched a real fit, but was finally subdued, all 6 pounds of him, by two (count 'em--two) full grown, adults, one of whom was wielding the NEEDLE.
Poor little thing...
But, it's not enough trauma! No, NOT nearly enough for the "daughters." OH, NO, there MUST be MORE!!
Did you notice one of the first comments from ONE of the (darling) Dauhters?? It said, and I quote, "When are you going to get HIM Neutered?" No "how is Zeus today?" or "I think he's really cute, can I come over and take him for a little walk in the sunshine?" OH NO--right away, "So, when are you going to get him neutered?"
It's been said by Nightcourt and others (who shall also remain nameless) that Zeus is NOT a manly sort of dog. He's a sissy dog or a terrible comical caricature of a dog, but not a REAL dog.
In his defense, he has at least 4 manly things: A Harley Davidson t-shirt he got for his birthday, a leather collar with spikes he got for Christmas and TWO "you know whats" that were issued as standard equipment when he was born.
That's IT, Folks! That's ALL!! And He's quite ATTACHED to the last two.
Alas, there are THOSE that would DENY him half of his manly possessions. And, notice too, that it's someone of the FEMALE persuasion that wants this additional TRAUMA to befall this poor, helpless, defensless, little dog.
What has the world come to???
