Apocalypse now moment Boog the chocolate lab was abused yesterday

[TEB]

A trip to the vets for his yearly check up. I grabbed the leashes as our golden retriever had check up as well. Oh the joy we’re going for a ride bouncing around we love rides man. We pulled up in front of the vet office and the boog knew he could smell it oh no man. The golden got out ok but not boog , every time we go it’s the same a son pushing him and man pulling him and we’re laughing.

Boog is like the scene from apocalypse now where chef and martin sheen go and collect mangos, and they run into the tiger and chef is screaming never get off the boat man that’s the boog. So we finally get inside and here my brave boog is walking with his tail between his legs head down looking so sad.

We sit down and he buries his muzzle into my ribs so I can rub his ears and head. But great news both furry boys got clean bill of health our golden retriever is ten and boog is eight and he is down from 100 to 88 pounds no boog the vet is not turning us into peta because you lost 12 pounds.


After we left on the way home boog was licking my ear as I drove thanks man, you had my back at that quacks Office wag wag, And I rub his head as I drive I always have your back boog.

The man is a poet.

2. Thanks for posting.

I love animals. Yours sound like two very lucky dogs, getting adopted into a loving family. They all have their own personalities, just like people. Glad both got clean bills of health.

3. Yes their loved

And big personality’s load off my mind I was worried about a spot on our golden retriever eye but it’s ok

4. Thank goodness.

Glad the eye is alright. It is like having young kids all over again, when you have pets. They depend on us, completely.

9. Our doggie from long ago, Snoopy, had two moments of panic.

1. Visit to the vet. He always knew when he went for a car ride it was not a good sign.

2. Bath time. The moment he saw us pull out the #3 washtub, it was time to hide. He did an army crawl across the back yard, crept under the shed and peered out at us like we didn’t know where he was. All you could see was front paws, nose and eyes.

That pooch was hilarious and we still miss the old boy. 😢

Great story telling, TEB.......
