This will – thankfully – be a short Dog Blog Challenge entry.

If you spend any time looking at dog blogs, you’ll unfortunately know of more than a few people who have wonderful dogs who are beset with health problems.

Thankfully, Choppy is not one of those dogs.

From the day I brought her home, Choppy has been almost entirely free of health problems [knock on wood]. She has cut her pads a couple times, been subject to minor allergies and gotten into something that irritated her eyes. Nothing a normal person would rush her dog to the vet for.

In related news, Choppy got special (read: expensive) trips to the vet for each of these things.

Despite her infrequent trips to the vet, Choppy hates it. Hopefully, her health will continue to be OK, as I don’t want to take her any more than is necessary. Whether this is because she hates it so much, or I hate dealing with her at the vet is a topic still up for debate.

This is the easy part of the trip to the vet. Getting her out of the car? A different matter.
