It's funny. The appointment was supposed to be the other day, but the vet had to reschedule.
I couldn't help but to think into the future about taking our kid's on their annual checkups (looking for a Dr., picking one, making an appointment, rescheduling, calming "baby ?" during their shots).
Kevin and I had the day off today so it was nice that we could both be there.
Bridgette was so well behaved the entire car ride there. We gave her "fancy feast" to help calm her nerves.
I forgot to bring her medial record with me, I felt like such an irresponsible "mom".
She went into the room and the nurse saw us first. She weighed Bridge and took her temperature.
The Vet then came in and HOLY MAN, he was Kevin's Doppelganger!
Kevin wasn't so convinced, but I wish you could have seen it. Same glasses, height, build, and a similar way of speaking to Kevin (except maybe ten years older).
He called Bridgette weird names, like "bobo" and gave her a couple shots.
On his way out he told us, "You guys are doing a great job. She is so beautiful and healthy."
It felt affirming and we looked at each other and had a brief moment of pride/satisfaction.
Yes, this was about a cat. But, she is ours. Our first responsibility.
She relies on us to keep her alive.
Anyhoo... here's a picture from the outing. :)
