No Bruce, No Better!

Evelyn doesn't like going to the Dr. She doesn't mind walking in because they have stickers, but once she gets called back the nurse wants her to stand on a *scary* scale and then takes her temperature. Today, I took Evelyn in because she keeps complaining that her ear hurts. Normally we'd go see Ooi or Bruce, but today we got someone new: Joe. When the nurse left the room Evelyn started saying "No Bruce!" over and over again. Bruce is always very nice so it was pretty funny, but I explained to her that she wasn't seeing Bruce today she was seeing Joe. She was happy about that until I told her he was going to make her feel better. Then it went back to crying "No Bruce, No better!". She calmed down one final time when i told her she'd get medicine if she was sick.

When Joe walked into the room without a little blue puppy she wasn't too sure. He checked out her ears and throat and listened to her lungs and talked to her and kept her happy the whole time. I was shocked at how great he was with her! She's never made it through a visit with a Dr. without actually screaming bloody murder.

Turns out, the whole litter and I walked to the Dr.'s office just for the exercise. She's just fine, clean bill of health.

Again, I didn't have a memory card in my camera. Fail.
