So I took my dog to the vet today

It was her yearly shots and exam. I also decided to have her clipped and since it is so freakin hot here, I told the groomer to cut her as short as possible.

So I went to pick her up and she seemed strange. Not as happy as she usually is. She also looked a little different but she had a new hair cut. I figured it was just hot and she was probably tired of being poked and prodded. So I took her out to the parking lot, opened the car door and this dog who usually jumps right in the car just stood there. I had to lift her into the car. Then we got home and the dog would not get out of the car. Again I have to lift her. And she stands in the driveway and doesn't follow me. Normally she runs to the front door and waits for me.

So I go inside and tell my husband I think something is wrong with the dog. He takes one look at her and says
"Honey this is NOT our dog."

The vet had accidentally sent me home with another dog, same breed. And stupid me, I didn't figure it out.

Must be the heat.

1. Oh, hon... that is LOL funny!

I think you need a cool drink and some R&R (and hubby to go get YOUR dog)....LOL

3. My vet just messaged me on Facebook

She feels really bad. I told her we were too busy laughing to be mad.

She's a really good vet. We all make mistakes.

2. This is a great story!

We needed something like this around here today.

4. My husband just said if I die first

he's telling this story at my funeral.

I'm on a health plan like tomorrow.

18. Um....

If your husband dies first please make sure they give you the right one when it comes time to bury him.

5. Must be the heat

I'm guessing that's your story and you're sticking with it. Great story, thanks for the chuckle.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. I took her picture

[bluedigger]

26. If you couldn't recognize that dog, you need to carry the picture around with you.

And spend a little time with the dog...

[annabanana]

31. uh

I think that's the "not her dog" one....

Want picture of the real deal.. (How hot WAS it?)

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. The picture I posted IS my dog

The dog I brought home could have been her twin. Same breed, same coloring.

6. Too funny!

Thanks for the laugh!

[frogmarch]

7. Too funny! :-D

I trust your real dog behaved normally when you FINALLY picked him (I mean HER) up! Poor thing was probably thinking WTF when you left with another dog!

[Brigid]

9. And that other dog was thinking WTF . . .

when she put him/her into her car. "Help! I'm being kidnapped!"

[frogmarch]

11. I know! Poor things. Both of

them wondering WTF - one heartlessly abandoned and the other kidnapped!

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. She went nuts.

When I got back to the vet, they were waiting for me. She jumped up on me, all excited to show off her hair cut, like she always does. And then she jumped in the car, and looked at me like she wanted to say "Hey, roll down the window already!"

[frogmarch]

16. Wonderful! Ohhh, how sweet!

I am glad you and your dear doggy had a happy reunion. The other doggy is probably telling his people all about his or her scary kidnapping experience.

[Honeycombe8]

8. LOL! That made me laugh out loud, really! I've never heard of that happening...honey, something

is wrong with the dog! HE says, "I would say so! That's not our dog!"

HAHAHAHAHA.

[kimi]

10. Oh, thank you!!

Funniest thing I've read all day! Glad that all dogs got sorted out. . .

(But I'll bet the hubby won't let you drop him off at the doctor's office next time HE has an appointment. )

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Now that's funny.

I can tease the hubby about bringing home a different man.

[HopeHoops]

25. Pay one of the neighborhood 18 year-olds to wait in the house - tell hubby you didn't notice.

That should fuck with his head.

[nolabear]

12. LOL! Can you imagine the WTF going through that dog's head?

Poor baby.

[Patiod]

13. That is too funny! We thought once we had picked up the wrong dog

When I was a kid, we left our dachshund Oscar with my aunt and uncle, who fed their poodle "on demand". This was an unfamiliar concept to our Oscar, who couldn't believe his luck -- there was a bottomless bowel of food on the floor ALL THE TIME!!!

When we came to pick him up, he had gained like 5 pounds - which is an enormous amount for a miniature dachshund. My mom and I thought at first that maybe Oscar had died or run away and my uncle had gone out and bought another dachsund. But the fat weinerdog our uncle handed to us had crimp in his tail just like Oscar, so we realized, it really was him, just a lot fatter.

Anyway, as others have said - this is the sort of story we all need to hear on a day like today.

22. My parents boarded their German Shepherd one time when they went on a trip.

Came back, picked up the dog, went home. Got a call several days
later. Not only had they been given the wrong dog--didn't realize it--
but their dog had been given to someone else--taken him home--
and their dog died!

My parents were probably in their early 80's when this happened.
I never could figure out why/how they didn't immediately know
they had the wrong dog.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. OMG that's horrible.

[HopeHoops]

24. I don't know if I feel more sorry for you or the dog!!!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

27. "Honey this is NOT our dog" ... I smell MILLIONS and MILLIONS in Hollywood $$$$$$$$$$$

Seriously, I'd start making phone calls NOW.

[Major Nikon]

28. You can keep it and you won't even have to change the pictures on the wall

[onecent]

29. THat is the funniest thing I have heard in 5 days....You have
