"L's round again and apparently we're all off for a little drive int he car, Yes me included". "YIPEE". I like going in the care because we usually go into the countryside somewhere different. I'll get a good run and maybe a swim if there's a lake or river. The mamma knows I like a swim but it can be a bit chilly this time of year. I try telling her that she has forgotten the towels but to no avail, she's not listening again, "WHAT IS LIFE COMING TO!!!!"

When we stop I jump out of the car all excited, "but wait, where are we?" "Where's the lush green fields, trees, hedges, water". "THIS IS A CARPARK - THE VETS CARPARK!!" I'm not ill so why have they brought me here? We sit in the waiting room with the other dogs, cats, mice, horses, you name it their here, but hey i'm a brave girl so what is there to be frightened of? Deciding that it's not worth worrying about I flop down and shut my eyes for 5 minutes. I can hear in the distance the receptionists laughing, in fact I have a very strange feeling that their laughing at me. I open one eye and peer out but choose not to take any notice of them, they obviously dont know who their laughing at!!!!! Um ears half open I dont think its so bad after all, in a funny way I think their being quite complimentary, albeit in a strange laughing sort of way Their telling the mamma she should be proud of me because i'm so laid back and the only dog they know who falls asleep when visiting the vets!! Well I totally agree, I suppose we all have to have some talent to laugh about, though i think the mamma should be proud of me whatever. "HEY WATCH MY NECK" i'm suddenly yanked out of my dream filled sleep and am heading for this door.................THIS HUGE DOOR, AND YES I MEAN HUGE..............towards a man wearing a white coat and he's standing there staring down at ME. THIS CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION..................Bottom down, chest down, front legs down..............mind I do draw the line at full submission, there will be no full frontal on show here, the only place i'm going is back out of the door, the door i just came throught. NO such luck, the mamma is much stronger and quicker than I realise and the next thing i'm in the small examination room with the WHITE COATED MAN. He's talking to the mamma who is laughing and she say the words i never thought I ever hear her say " she's obviously not as brave as I thought" and they both laugh again. "what does she mean brave.......I AM BRAVE, VERY BRAVE" It's not my fault that she woke me up suddenlyand took me by suprise so what does she expect. Oh dear I really must try and stop my legs from shaking.

Then suddenly its dark, BLACK BLACK DARK. of course the dark doesn't worry me at all, but if i'm completely honest the man in the white coat does. I sense him moving towards me. WOW whats that? A bright, bright light, a bright stinging light, right in my eye. I really dont think I like this and especially hurt and upset as the mamma seems to be going along with it........AND YES SHE'S STILL LAUGHING and talking as if i'm not even there. Now I really know I dont like this and will be very, very, very glad to get home and to the safety of my bed. All that bright light and torches. If I'd realised what was going to go on i'd have brough my sunglasses.

THEN as if that wasn't enough, things just seemed to go from bad to worse as he's now heading towards me, not with a torch, but this sharpe thing which he then commences to stab into my neck. Before I faint "WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE".
