Ray had just completed his third laser treatment for arthritis. He had showed improvement after the second one so I was feeling very hopeful as I had handed him over for his third.
"Did he lay down for you?" I inquired, smiling as I always do when someone tells me they love my dog.
"He laid down and then he raised his leg and gave it to me for treatment," said Joann shaking her head in disbelief.
Rosemary, the receptionist, grinned and said, "Next time he'll do it himself. He'll just take the thing and tell you 'Here, I'll take care of it, you just go about your business.'"
We all laughed.
Ray stood stoically, waiting to go. It was a beautiful day and he had things to do.

I love Ray! It floors me that he is so compliant and actually raised his leg for treatment - he is part dog - part something so special I can't even imagine. :)
ReplyDelete(I didn't tell the vet tech but he was probably just flopping for a belly rub. He always lifts his front leg when he does that.)
DeleteAhahahaha!!
DeleteAwww! Too cute - love the Sopwith Camel comment (I was a huge Peanuts fan as a kid, lol!)
ReplyDeleteGlad somebody knew what I was talking about with that caption! (I was a huge fan too.)
DeleteI think Ray should wear those cool shades all the time!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, although Ray is the best dog in the world when it comes to modeling items of clothing, he is not a huge fan of the doggles.
DeleteRay is really styling in those glasses. By the way, Happy Birthday to one of my favorite sisters.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kath.
DeleteLaser treatment for the treatment of arthritis is working good for dogs. As it is painless the dog seems to enjoy their treatment sessions. Ray is good and nice dog, his owner must be a lucky person to have such a pet.
