Healthy as a Horse... errr, Beagle!

I just had my 4–year-old check-up and I am happy to report I am fit as a fiddle. Healthy as a horse. Good teeth. Decent weight. Overall good health. Hooray. What can I say, I’m a 4-year-old beagle in the body of a 3.5-year-old. Tell that to the ladies in the dog park! Of course, the tricks I can do are that of an old dog – as in, you can’t teach ‘em new tricks.

But more importantly, when the vet brought me out, the doctor told mommy, I was the best, calmest, sweetest dog she had seen in a week – and one of her very best patients. And she wasn’t just saying that – nope. She meant it. She even thanked mommy – I got the feeling the doctor had a busy week of crazy animals.

So you better believe it. I walked outta that office with my head held high and my tail wagging. It’s not every day you get such a compliment from a real doctor. I mean, they know their stuff. Mommy always asks me "Whose the best doggie? Whose the best doggie?" But now it's like confirmed and everything.
