You mean like a Pict?!?

... he's mopey right now...Uncle Ray the vet said he
ahs to have some surgery to remove a dewclaw that grew back and
infected...he regrew his whole digit! Now it needs to be amputated.

Yuck. One of our Chesapeakes had the same problem.

... I
think he knows what we were talking about because he's sulking in front of
the fireplace and won't play with his toys.

Smart dog. He's probably worried.

We've been lucky in that our dogs have *loved* going to the vet. It's
true that we cultivate this attitude by making it as much of a treat as
possible for them. Our old dog was a star, everybody quit work and came
over to talk to him and make a fuss.

Choppie likes going to the vets...we've known this guy since he graduated
from med school way back in 1972....Choppie boards there when we go far away
and the girls in the kennel take him out to play...he's never really been
sick except for a few ear infections so I'm thinking he doesn't feel very
well...

You're lucky. Our best vet moved away.

Poor guy. And no matter how well they understand plain English, there
are still things you can't explain to them. Give him an extra treat from me!

And make him even fatter? He probably has CAD as it is.

Just look at that tail. A big glob of fat there on the end of it . . .
