    A Night at the Vets

    Home -> Blog -> 2010 -> March



    It had been far too long between visits to the vet so last night (with a little kick in the pants thanks to Amy) we headed off with our beloved felines to see the good doctor. One at a time that is - these two need to be caged because cats act like babies in the car.

    - As you may know, my cats are named "Moo" and "Boo" (also known as "The Kittys OO"). No, I didn't name them - they came named and I was just too lazy to think of anything else. The running joke is that they answer to "get down" and stop that. Anyway, it is always embarrassing to call and ask "can Moo and Boo have an appointment?". I didn't feel so bad after last night's visit. As we were being cashed out we overheard the receptionist saying "just to confirm, we'll see Mr. Whiskers on the 17th at 5:30". Mr. Whiskers?

    - I know we all joke that you should never go to a doctor that is in worse shape than you are. Does that hold true for vets? The vet was rather.... present. Worse, he said his own cat was really fat.

    - If you know me a little you probably know that I abhor cults or any activities/organizations that act in cult-like behaviors. I've come to realize that dog owners fall into that category.

    What is it with you people? I mean, it seems that when two parties meet each other and they each have dogs it seems that it is mandatory that each side then relay the history of their animal. In a sense it was just like what you see parents do - they'll sit there and tolerate the other person's story about their kid so that they can detail how great little Suzy is. See the Carlin video from yesterday.

    You're probably asking why this is an issue as I do not own a dog. For some reason the cult seemed to think that in a vet's office everyone is an honorary cult member. They were sly, I tell you. They asked about a cat and we replied with a friendly answer. This then gave them license say that they had a cat and the dog does the funnies things around the cats... and then it was on. I felt like I knew everything there was to know about Rover. Damn, I was jedi-mind-tricked by a cult member.

    __________________________________________________________________

    - My friend Jamie referenced a recent study that shows that atheists have a higher IQ and theists. Of course, she was amazed that somehow they missed me in the study.

    - Isn't it amazing how even though we may be married or happy in a relationship that past relationships seem to loom just off in the distance? Worse, these relationships seem to be known by a single word - the name of the other person in said relationship.

    We're going to a concert at the end of the month and I'm fairly sure that a person that I used to date will be there. I haven't talked much of this person because it was so long ago and we didn't date for long, but that doesn't seem to matter. As we saw in High Fidelity, these people still get a place on the mantle if for no other reason than they are unknowns. And we all know that we make the unknowns into something that they are not.

    Well done Bubba. Maybe it is a good thing that you and your far better half will never visit ;-)

    Hey now...in my defense, I ask questions about your past relationships for the sole purpose of getting some fodder with which to tease you since one of your favorite pastimes seems to be to tease me about my past and I figure fair is fair....., but alas....I always come up short. It seems you have a far more normal dating past than I do....bummer!! My quest will not end though until I find a story! :)
