I Told You So

Scout here at the keyboard telling you about my experience with Joey's doctor.  We had a stormy day here on Friday.  I had planned to stay home while Joey went to the doctor to get his stitches out.  The skies turned black right before Mama and Joey left and there were tornadoes touching down across the river, so Mama said I should go with them because you just never know.  She didn't want me to be left home alone in case something bad happened.  It was a little scary riding in the car because the rain was coming down really hard, but we made it.

Mama explained to the vet and his assistant why I was there.  The vet assistant said she had never seen a female greyhound as big as me.  Are you ready for what the vet said?  He said "She is BIG BONED."  Isn't that what I have been telling all of you?  Daddy said he was probably kidding, but I am not sure.  He said that I look fine.  I'm very long and tall.  I'm bigger than some boys, you know.  It's not my fault I got the big girl gene.

Our bully sticks arrived yesterday.  We chewed on those for a while.  Mama is taking us on two long walks a day, but we are going separately.  She is trying to train Joey to walk better.  She may need to order the Freedom Harness that Miss Bunny's Mom suggested.

    Scout...you are so pretty. Big bones are good. You need them to make sure Joey stays a good boy. Enjoy your bully sticks.

    I love the look on your face Scout! The big bone gene rocks, I wish I had it.

    All the best supermodels are tall and beautiful Scout!
    We are glad you were all okay in the storm.

    Scout, I'd lend Joey one of my harnesses, but I'm pretty sure he'd frown upon wearing a pink one! I hope he learns those leash manners soon. Maybe it's in our bloodline! BOL!

    Blueberry is big boned, too. She's taller than a lot of male Greyhounds that we meet. Mom says she's the supermodel version! People are always admiring her looks. Mom says if she could stand still, she'd make stunning photos!

    Sunny, who we watched recently, is a big-boned girl. We call her a 'linebacker'. She's a 'tank' :) Are you bigger than Joey?

    It's okay, my Dixie girl was big boned too. She was very big for a girl and she was a brindle too!

    I believed you all along, Scout, and I'm glad you have the doctor on your side now too!

    I like big girls Scout! Sorry to hear about your road trip troubles. It must be hard with your Dad being away, though Mum says she could do with a month on St. Thomas! Deccy x

    Scout, you just be whatever you are! My mom was "big-boned," and he was tough.
