‘But I don’t want to go to the vet!’

Queenie knew exactly where we were going when we parked our car behind Eastern Market, so she planted herself on the sidewalk and refused to cross the street to the vet’s office. Tim tried to cajole her and bribe her with treats but she wouldn’t move, and it can be hard to dislodge all 70 pounds of her when she doesn’t want to do something. He finally managed to get her to relent, and she reluctantly agreed to see the vet, for another hotspot on her foot that requires daily medication and wearing the “cone of shame” for 10 days.

My dog Magpie is the same way, she look so forlorn.

Poor Queenie, I don't blame her but I guess she decided it's better to get it over with.

Awww, poor Queenie. She knew what was coming. Even the rain didn`t encourage her to go inside. Dogs hate those darn cones! V

She looks unhappy. Hopefully she can avoid the cone in the future. V

That cone must be endlessly frustrating for any dog. Especially if they can't see a future without it.

Really a smart dog. She remembers the place and her face doesn't lie about her resistance. ~VVVVV+~

A very smart dog and turns out she was right to object to that visit ending in the cone of shame. Poor Queenie.
