Hi Ridge, Hope you will fully recover in good time. Happy anniversary to you and Clyde. I have not had quite the same experience as you write about with my own dog, Katie, but I can relate to the issues with taking a dog with you when you visit a doctor. The other day the doctor had to examine my ears, and Katie would not let her do it. I had to put my hand over Katie's eyes. I think it was because Katie doesn't like having her ears examined or having drops in her ears, so she thought the doctor was hurting me.
