Tibbe is so excited to go to the vet where he gets lots of attention and can see other dogs that he doesn't ever seem to mind what is sometimes in store for him even if it includes a needle. All I have to say is "We're going to the vet" and he's so excited and running to the door that it's hard to settle him down. He will often shriek out on the way to the vet despite the fact that he's trained to behave in the car! But he can't help himself and a yelp of excitement will just bubble up. He's a big, big ham and the bigger audience he can get to notice him the better his world is, I guess. And he's straining to get to the tech or receptionist who takes him back if it's a drop off or straining in my arms when we are ushered back into an exam room. Then he's straining to get carried back to the back where the other dogs are and I always(needlessly I'm sure) remind whoever is taking him back that he could try to jump out of their arms in excitement if they don't have a good hold. He's just wild to see those other dogs. Everybody tells me he barks almost constantly when they pass by and stands up and reaches his paw out of the cage to get their attentions and is always poking his nose through the wires. But if I do leave him for his comprehensive exam and tests or a dental and pick him up later, he's pretty mad at me and ignores me for a long, long time, even after we get home. I think he'd be happy if I could stay since he seems to dislike being left by me even though he loves the vet. But he sure loves his vet visits. I'm the one who is a wreck anytime we go to the vet.
