Already Working

Slick had another adventurous day today. After breakfast, we had a nice walk. Our neighbor is having some concrete work done, so we listened and watched all the wonderful construction from next door. He wanted to go visit the workman. But I thought that might be toooo much adventure.

Then, time to get a bath before our weekly visit to Ingelside Nursing Home in Mount Horeb. He smelled so good. Every Tuesday, we take Slick and one of our own therapy dogs to a nursing home in Mt. Horeb. Slick is a little short and difficult to pet if the resident is in a wheel chair. We put him on another chair in order to make him easier to pet. We push him in the chair from resident to resident. He is very popular, and elicits many smiles and giggles.



When we reached Ingelside, he was his usual big hit. After all, who could turn down petting a puppy? Slick “demonstrated” his “sit”, and “down” while we were waiting for Reggie, our border collie, to finish his rounds. The residents thought Slick was very funny when he became a little warm, and stretched out as far as he could stretch on the tile floor to cool off. We also rode on a scary “moving room” (elevator) again. Although he still does not like it, he did better than yesterday.



Finally off to the vet, Dr. Dave Williams in Mount Horeb, for his 3 month puppy shot. He was a good little boy when Dr. Dave checked his heart, etc. He did not even whimper when he received his shot. Slick is not so little anymore as he now weighs 24 pounds!



I think that he should nap most of the rest of the day. Getting shots can be quite exhausting!
