The little dog proved a quiet, if somewhat frightened passenger in the pet (cat!) carrier, carefully expressing his disapproval of unplanned excursions by means of a steaming mound of criticism in the corner of the carrier, which the vet's office was nice enough to remove. (He had a somewhat shorter but similar opinion of the exam table.)
It all went well withal; when it came time to return home, he was happy to climb back in and refrained from further comment in any form.
Dreamlike: that vet's office has two office cats: an orange tabby tomcat and a tortoiseshell calico! The tom's smaller than Huck (and declawed all 'round, poor guy), while the calico lacks Rannie's dark half-mask. Still, quite a coincidence.
...And at the Skunk Works, North Campus, a day that began well enough augered in when a recently-repaired critical device proved to have a communicable failure upon reinstallation. Even after de-installing the darned thing, the problem remains and has stubbornly resisted diagnosis. An hour after the usual quittin' time (and no lunch, either), I fought it to a should-work situation and vowed to address it again in the morning. It could be two bad cables in a row -- but I have my doubts.
Entirely too exciting.

My 3 small dogs usually whine somewhat, and sometimes throw up. Poor things, you can't tell them that you are trying to keep them healthy.

My Tervueren had reason to hate the vet - multiple visits for dressing changes on a mangled foot.
Instead he loved it! He couldn't wait to get in the car if he knew it was vet visit time - I suspect it was the drugs.
I distinctly remember having two full system failures in a row, in the same place, due to two bad USB cables (both brand new, right out of the package). One after the other. That was a lot of troubleshooting. I double-check cables now.
