Okay, so today my husband and I were discussing when would be a good time (for us) to schedule Bella's spay. She's 1 year now (we were waiting on her distal femoral as that was the only stubborn one and it's now formed and matured).
In any case, she was just at the vet's the other day for a weight check, growth plate check and overall 'health check'. She also received a shot of corti for her allergies this time of year. Well, we always call him Dr. Becker and not "the vet" when we discuss going there.
I was in the process of calling them and my husband pipes up and says "Make sure you ask for Becker" (since there are three vets there and we prefer him). Bella was in the room, and she heard that and whimpered...proceeded to run into the bedroom and hide in the closet behind my husband's galoshes.
...guess we'll have to start spelling things from now on.
She equates Becker with shots.
