At St. Timothy’s where Mom and I work three days a week there are a man, Joe, and his wonderful wife, Anne. Anne loves me and fusses over me every Wednesday when I see her after her yoga class. Joe used to be my friend. Then today happened. It started out innocent enough with him popping his head in my our office and saying, “Hey Amy – that’s my Mom’s other name – there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. I had to coax Lexi to follow me back to the church the other day.” Now imagine Mom furrowing her brow and looking very puzzled. Joe continues, “I was working across the street and saw her hoofing down the sidewalk toward the rental house. She was even on the road for a bit. So I came over and got her to follow me back.” At this point imagine Mom aka Amy throwing her hand across her heart and gaping like a fish out of water. I have always had the run of the church so I can go visit whomever I want. Mom has only caught me outside once when the kitchen door got left open and I was sunning myself in the grass. Caught me is the operative phrase here. I think I am now on restriction, whatever that is. Who would have thought my ex-friend Joe was such a big snitch!
We left work early to go to my appointment at a new vet. Everyone was very nice to me there, and no one stuck a glass stick up my patootie. I’ve even lost a few more ounces. The vet’s name is Karen, which I found out when she came in the room and she and Mom started talking like old friends. I guess that is because they worked together long before I was born and were very glad to see each other again. The vet tech is Angela. I especially like Angela: she fed me tiny pieces of treats while I stood on the table. It was so great that I didn’t even notice what was happening to me.
Hmmm, can’t wait for the story of how you know about being left home, Cupcake.

I bet mom will think of a way to help you remember what to do to stay safe.
I’m glad you are looking forward to your next treatment, that means it wasn’t too bad.

Thanks, Sammy. I’m not sure what Mom has up her sleeve for me, but I think it’s going to be more pins (they don’t hurt – really!) and less time outside by myself.

But Cupcake, when someone opens a door, you just have to go through. Who knows what is on the other side! Adventures….

Maybe Joe was, but I’m afraid it is going to mess up my time at work. That’s nice you thought about me over the weekend.
I am actually looking forward to going back for another treatment next week.

Yes, I think that’s why all those needles were sticking out of my head and back. I also got cold laser treatment and a vitamin B12 shot. I go back in a week for it to all happen again. Someone at Dad’s church practices reika. Is it helping Kali?

BUSTED!!!!! There is always someone to rat you out. I went with a friend to have her Great Dane get acupuncture. He seemed to love it. I hope that it helps.
