One of the refugees has a chesty cough
I had run out of antibiotics
So I rang the vets
Booked with the receptionist to collect some
And drove up to the surgery late this morning.
The receptionist must have been on her break for only George Clooney
( the GOB smackingly good looking vet) was sat behind the desk eating a sandwich
I straightened my hair and gave him one of my best smiles
And before I could say anything, he stood up and sang out a lusty
" Mr Gray!"
And suddenly I went all silly realising that he had actually remembered my name
" you have a good memory for faces, I haven't been in for ages"
I wittered.
George shook his handsome head
" Not really" he answered in his deep chocolate voice
and picking up the bottle of antibiotic from the counter,
he added simply and somewhat wryly
" Your name is on the bottle"
Floozy!!
ReplyDeleteLOL John this made my morning.
ReplyDeleteCrash and burn...you would think he could have pretended wouldn't you?
ReplyDeleteHe missed a trick there. Flattery is wonderful medicine.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteFfffffffffssssssst.
ReplyDelete(John's bubble being burst).

D'you think he'll pose for a photo? We'd like to know just why you turn to jelly - and whether you're justified.
ReplyDeleteIf he'd been a bit quicker-witted, he would have said "Oh, I never forget a face - especially one as interesting as yours."

ReplyDeleteI just sussed you out... You don't really love animals, you just love the attentions of a gobsmackingly good looking vet. What next are you ordering... ear drops for the hens?
ReplyDeleteIf you wore your Fair Isle tank top John, just sit back and wait. How could he resist your boyish charm.
LLX
John,
ReplyDeleteOh you poor thing you!!!
Well at least you got a smile from the dude.
I can so just imagine you straightening your hair!
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't feel too deflated John.
ReplyDeleteNothing like getting kicked in the ....ego...yeesh!
ReplyDeleteOh, shit...
ReplyDeleteAn honest doctor!!!! What a win :)
ReplyDeletethat's kind of like seeing someone hunky wave at you, you smile big and wave back, only to discover he's waving at the guy/gal behind you!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry - with your menagerie someone else will need something from the vet before long.

And did I ever tell you I once had a dentist who looked like Christopher Reeve (in his Superman days)? He knew it, too - had a picture of himself on his business cards!
ReplyDeleteNancy
I wonder if GOB smackingly good looking vet will Google your name sometime and find this blog...
ReplyDeleteEls
I'm sure you made him smile. I do hope your walking dead t-shirt wasn't too torn and that you didn't reek of chicken poo too much.
ReplyDeleteouch....ego deflation!
ReplyDeleteDamnit! I was at that surgery yesterday with my in-laws cat (it's not my usual surgery) and I didn't see him!
ReplyDeleteCan you not surreptitiously take a photograph of this gods like creature for us all to see?
ReplyDeleteI had a terrible crush on my vet in my mid20's and felt like a twittering school girl when I saw him.
LOLOLOLOLOL
ReplyDeletereminds me of the time last year when I was at the Clinic for the usual ct scan, and a young man was checking me out head to toe... made me feeel so good until he asked "Ma'am, can i ask you where you got your shoes? My wife has been looking for a pair like that..."
LOLOLOLOLLOLOL
dont worry John, I will always remember your name... but unfortunately i dont look like george clooney...until the menopause really hits...
xoxox
ha ha ha ha ... sorry John xx
ReplyDeleteI want to see him now to see if he is as cute as you think he is........
ReplyDeleteHe might be handsome but obviously has no tact.
ReplyDeleteHe could have smiled sweetly and pretended.......
Fur coat and no knickers springs to mind for reasons that escape me......
Don't worry John, similar things have happened to us all at one time or another. Just remember next time you meet him to play it cool.
ReplyDeleteI think he quite fancies you really - he was just playing hard to get.
ReplyDeleteDon't let him fool you! Of course he remembered you. He was just covering his tracks.
ReplyDeleteCRUSHING. x
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't just the bottle. John Gray could have been any fellow who stopped in. He knew it was you. Mmmmmmmm . . . John and the gob smackingly good looking vet sittin' in a tree . . .
ReplyDeleteIs Chris jealous? He should be.
Love,
Janie
Nah - it's tattooed on his whatsit, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteThe poor sod, does not know who I am from adam
DeleteNah! That's just a fig-leaf.
DeleteWas this really a dream? ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Too funny. But maybe now he'll remember you next time :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should wear a tux next time you pop in and sing his name and see if he gets all woozy ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Larf! I nearly spilled me coffee. Sorry John.
ReplyDeleteElation to depression in five seconds.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean, John. The only reason I didn't resent atrocious bills for keeping the cats in shape because the vet was delicious. Not that I was after his hind. His looks just sweetening the bitter pill I was trying (unsuccessfully) to administer.
ReplyDeleteHowever, and do bear this in mind next time you go and see him: Vets do have the highest suicide rate among the professions. Journalists coming a close second.
Hugs and Kisses,
U
The way your mind works always intrigues me
DeleteI love ya

I thought it was dentists!
DeleteYes...it is dentists.
Delete'Course mine is gorgeous.
"Oh please...please can you check out my mouth?"
Here's to more visits!
ReplyDeleteYou can still dream........
ReplyDeleteI laughed but he's really an ass.
ReplyDeleteAnother LOL moment; thank you!
ReplyDeleteAaahaaaahaaa --- you made coffee come out my nose.
ReplyDeleteI hope you were drinking coffee
DeleteWhile it would have made you day if he'd played along and pretended to remember you, the next time might have been a let down.
ReplyDeleteNone the less, I treat everyone I meet like long lost friends.
Oops. You weren't simpering were you?
ReplyDeleteJust a little..omg
DeleteAre you sure the vet said "Mr Gray!" in a "lusty" manner? Wasn't that just a tiny case of wishful thinking?
ReplyDeleteMmm, perhaps he recognized you by the pattern of stains on your shirt, or the odor of your boots? Ah, well, he is young, he'll have to learn a bit what's worth paying attention to.
ReplyDeleteHehe. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMarvelous...
