Gordon the farm dog needed
to renew his doggie licence.
To do this he needed a shot
from the doggie doctor.
My dilema...
How do I get a drooling
100 pound dog
with a mind of his own.
Tick infested with wet hair
and hind leg arthritis into
the back seat of my car to
make the trip to the Vet?
Not an easy thing to do.
Even with a leash around his neck,
he walked around the car in non
obeying circles for awhile.
Dangling a pork chop in his nose,
yelling at him to get in the car.
He wasn't liking the idea of
having to climb into the car,
and wasn't having any part of it.
Well let me tell you,
I grew up on a farm and
having dealt with getting an
animal to do what I wanted,
and what it didn't want to do.
I had a toolbag full of tricks,
but this dog has no balls to twist.
First off you have to disorient
the animal by changing it's senses.
So...
A dog's foremost and best sence is smell.
So I squirted some cresty minty
tooth paste up his nostrils.
Then took an old pair of
stereo headphones that I had,
using two elastic bands
made what I call a "Mutt Muff".
Placed them around the dogs
head and over his ears.
He just stood there snorting...
In a non sensory doggie overload.
Arriving at the Vet Hospitol he
eagerly leaped out of the car.
Looking back at me three times.
Into the hands of the grooming girls.
Where upon I thought..."Lucky dog".
