The Results

So, Friday morning, Momma got up, got ready, and left for work. 

I, on the other hand, got to sleep in with Daddy.

(sorry about the quality, taken with a cell phone)

Momma came home, picked us up and off we went....to another V.E.T.'s office and one I've never been to.

I get a little nervous when at the V.E.T. and this is the only decent  photo Mom was able to get while we were there.

Some man came out talked to Mom and Dad for a minute and then took me away. I didn't really like that too much, as you can imagine. The man put some stinky alcohol on my tummy and then took some pictures. Now, you remember I told you I couldn't have anything to eat, right? Well, the lady forgot to tell Mom and Dad that I needed to have a full bladder.  So, while I stayed there waiting for my bladder to fill up, Mom and Dad went out for lunch!  Can you believe that? Here I am so hungry I am in the grips of death AND being left alone with some strange man. They just walk away, hop in the car and go eat lunch. They even had breafast food! Humph!

When they came back, the strange man (the doctor) came back out with me and I was so excited to see Mom and Dad! Daddy said it was a good thing I wasn't a big dog or I mighta pulled the doctor down and drug him across the floor.

We haven't heard from my V.E.T. yet but this new doctor told Mom and Dad that my insides all looked normal!

Yay!
Happy Dog Dance!

He did say my kidneys looked old....WHAT?
 Who is he callin old?
And, what do old kidneys look like anyway?

He did say that he would suggest a repeat sonogram in about 6 months because any problem can start very small.  He also said I should have a blood clotting test run with Dr. Abby to make sure my blood is clotting properly. I do pass blood clots on occasion so it must be clotting some, right?
He also said I could have some blood vessels leaking in one of my kidneys from a stroke or aneurysm. It sounded like he didn't think this was a big deal. He said they could do surgery to find out which kidney it was coming from and then remove that kidney if Mom and Dad were really worried about it but I'm thinking that is going just a little too far. 
So, basically, we don't have any answers but we do know that I don't currently have any tumors or cysts that are bleeding or anything else seriously wrong.
Once Mom and Dad talk with Dr. Abby next week and we make a plan, I will let you know.

Now, after talking to the doctor, we went out and I tinkled in their grass. I got in the car on Daddy's side and he opened the glove box. You will never guess what was in there!
Nope, not a burger and a beer like Puddles suggested but it was a bag of treats ;o)
I couldn't even wait until he got that bag opened....I was trying to open it with my teefers. Once it was open, Dad tried to reach in and grab one of those treats for me but I pushed his hand outta the way and stuck my snooter right in that bag and grabbed 2 treats out and chowed down. There were 2 more treats in that bag and he gave me those too.

I love my Daddy!

When we got home I went straight to my food bowl, had a small snack and then off to take a long nap.

It was a stressful morning and I was really tired!


Seriously, Mom?


I'm trying to celebrate here!
