Get Well Soon Kong!

Kong was acting a bit sick lately so I told Megan about it. I've been really busy with the blog and the new redesign for the newsletter site so I haven't been able to take him to the vet. Megan said that she'd do it--she had time on her hands. Of course, she took Kong to the usual animal clinic and she saw Seth. What followed was not pretty. Megan and Seth started arguing about their trip (read it here if you missed it) and how she left in the middle of the weekend etc... while Seth was examining Kong. He was doing a thorough checkup on the dog. The argument between Megan and Seth heated up. She got really upset, so Megan grabbed Kong and came home.

When I got home, they were back for a good two hours. Adrian was there too, they were really worried because Kong had been acting strange. He had been whining and didn't want any food or water. We all asked him what the matter was, and he just continued whining. If Kong knew how to speak human he would be cussing us. Some time passed and Adrian realized something and said, "Did you notice that Kong hasn't sat down this entire time? I mean, he's not wagging his tail much either." Megan realized it too and started saying, "OH NOO---" and put her hand on her eyes. She kept saying, "Oh no, oh no, oh no..." By then I figured it out--the only way to check a dog's temperature is through his butt. I lifted Kong's tail and sure enough there was a thermometer sticking out!

Megan started apologizing profusely. I told her not to worry about it. Kong seemed happier since the object was removed from his butt. Then I called up Seth to tell him to collect his instrument. Megan was gone by the time Seth showed up so no more drama followed. Seth was horrified by the situation, apologized profusely, then continued his examination out of courtesy and told me that Kong was having a stomach upset. He gave me a prescription for him and left. "See, it's never a good idea to be in between a couple," I told Kong. He looked back with grateful eyes; he was just happy to be thermometer-free.
