| Poorly 21 |
I suspected that she had an infection in her knee joint, but left her to rest to see if it would improve.
It didn't, so this morning I took her to a new rural vet practice up in the hills.
I have no confidence in my local vets. I have not since Maddie died last year,so after a bit of trolling around I registered my "farm" animals with the new practice which is around 20 minutes away and without a problem obtained an appointment with them after morning surgery.
I left a sorry looking 21 in the car while I waited for the vet to be free.....and after only a couple of minutes reading an old copy of Hello, the vet appeared in the doorway.
He looked the spit of a young George Clooney and as he flashed me the biggest pair of baby blue eyes he asked in a booming deep voice
"Are you the guy with the lame pig?"
I gulped
"Yes!"I squeaked....and said weakly "She's in the Berlingo"
"Well let's go and sort her out" he said cheerfully, flexing his smile again to deadly effect
...............I tottered out after him like a 14 year old schoolgirl.
Dr Doug Ross in ER couldn't have been more attentive
He took 21's temperature, manipulated her leg gently and checked her over as if she was a baby
"That's a nice pig" he said after the examination
"Thank you!" I simpered, smiling like an idiot
"She has an infection in the joint" he explained, ".I am going to give her an anti inflammatory injection and some antibiotics...have you ever injected a pig before?" The God asked
"No " I babbled " but I have given injections to plenty of fat humans before"
I was trying to be clever
He didn't laugh...but said " that's good".
You're never too old to make a tit out of yourself over a pretty face
Even if the vet had looked like the back of a bus, I was happy with the service I received and the total cost of the morning was refreshingly cheap.
Tisk tisk John G,
ReplyDeleteSo easily swayed my man, glad that 21 is healthy me thinks that you should be feeding him apples when he's older - Mmmm cider flavoured piggy.
All the best,
John W
I think that each of your animals may need a check up. I see many visits in the future. Come to think of it I'm feeling a little iffy today.. I'll pop over.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with George.
ReplyDeleteNow I'd want a vet that looked like Aishwarya Rai before I made a tit of myself.
Hehe.
ReplyDeleteHope 21 gets well soon, but not before you've had a follow-up with the vet. ;-)
Simpering is not a good look in a a man of your age and stature!
ReplyDeleteGood looks and cheap! You can't get much better than that for a vet.
ReplyDeleteWell just make sure that you take 21 back to this vet for a check-up!
ReplyDeleteStrictly for HER sake, of course!
You didn't blush, or anything, did you?
Possibly this vet should make a house call to ensure that all your little critters are in good shape. Hope 21 clears up well.
ReplyDeleteI may have to buy myself a pig and register him with a vet in Wales! xxxx
ReplyDeleteHe may make house calls.
ReplyDeleteDown boy! (maybe I should re-phrase that). I hope No 21 gets better soon. Four legs good; three legs bad.
ReplyDeletePoor 21, at least you are crafty with the shots and can care for her at home! Our vet used to be a charmer too.... but that was 29 years ago.... He's still a good vet though! :-)
ReplyDeleteNo kidding...
ReplyDeleteLast week I was trying to be clever with a pretty waitress half my age in a mock tug of war over a basket of chips.
I ended up tipping a whole pint of guinness over my leg. The whole pub crowd muttered something indecipherable in Welsh (probably about the stupid bloody English) while the pretty waitress looked at me with a mixture of contempt and pity.
What a tit.
Putting the name George Clooney in the title will get you many readers.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a vet that you are happy about; did I say happy, I meant overjoyed. Hope 21 will be feeling well soon.
I do think you ought to have Dr Ross the vet pop over for a house call. After all, you've got a variety of animals on hand, and perhaps he ought to give everything a perusal.
ReplyDeleteDid you tell him about the ghost hens? If not, that could be a future topic of discussion.
Blue eyes. Yes, i'm a sucker for those, too, John.

You have been "George Clooneyed", silly you. Has your heart stopped pounding yet?
ReplyDeleteGive a big kiss to 21 for me. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy late hubby looked a bit like GC!
Thank you for the BIG grin today!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Unfortunately, one is never to old to make a big tit of oneself...at all.
ReplyDeleteAmazing...I too think you should invite him round to check out all your animals!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Can't wait til another critter of yours comes down with an ailment! ---- I took my 80-year-old mother to the emergency room after fracturing her wrist one late night, and her ER doctor was... BETTER than your George Clooney. Boy, did that fella take the pain away.... My mom and I still reminisce fondly about breaking her arm...
ReplyDeleteok this really made me laugh hard!
ReplyDeleteBut I am sorry to hear Bacon Bits has a infection in her knee! Ok sorry I can't help she is Bacon Bits to me.
Ummmm I can just see you in that whole situation ROFL... your just to much John! ROFL :O)...
Oh, you made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteHope no 21 is on the mend.
I love you, John!
ReplyDeleteYou need to film all these wonderful moments! hee heeee
xoxoxoxoxoxo
There you go again, falling for a pretty face! Let's hope he's a much better vet than you had previously. Good luck No.21 - save me a rib chop, John!
ReplyDeleteI know just how you feel!! I'll admit to having had a bit of a school girl crush on one of my vets a couple of years ago--Sadly for me, he moved to England...
ReplyDeleteDoes he make house calls????
ReplyDelete;-)
Wishing 21 a speedy recovery...
I must be getting old. It was the words 'refreshingly cheap' that made my pulse quicken.
ReplyDeletealice
You flirt, you. . . .
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm.... I wish I had read this before going to the vet on Tuesday .... I would have preferred G.C. to the 12 year old bouncy cheerleader vet I got. When I have to fork over $300 for a shitting kitten, a little G.C. would have gone a long way towards making me feel better! Katie
ReplyDeleteGFeorge Clooney needs no vet ! He can doctor his own genitals ! G. Clooney is definitely Amal's Trophy husband. With $500 million/- in George's net worth, G. Clooney is worth more than a trophy ! George is a big arsehole with a gigantic bank balance. And Amal is really smart to bag George for the money ! George has made no extraordinary landmark movies to date. He has been pressing his cock & massaging his arse in the meantime, hoping to get an Oscar for the Vet ! Rather the Vetenary Idiot of Hollywood ! George will masturbate in his next movie !
