First trip to the vet!

We just got back from the vet. As last time, Howl tried to sleep the whole ride while Calcifer threw a fit. It was a shorter drive and they'd both almost gone to sleep when we got there, so I think they are calming down. The place was nice, pretty busy. The kittens were very good, and I was told that someone who worked there wanted to walk out with one of the kittens because they were so cute.
They got some shots and lost some blood. I get to take poopy samples for their next appt. Do I need to sit and watch them so I know who's poop is whose? Fun.
 



I have two of these to take the poop samples with.




And the Vet's wife knows Leng, and he (the Vet) knew Ann and Bethany, who I had put down as people who refered us. Do they get prizes? A free tube of Advantex? We got a free one for each kitten, and two bags of kitten food, for buying the kitten package with shots that stuff.

There was a guy there, I guess he had to put his cat down? The Vet said they had a room if he wanted to sit with her, and he asked if he could take her to the car. I think he went out there to cry with her. I almost cried just watching it. But hopefully it'll be like 20 years before I have to go through that with Calcifer and Howl.

And they are both girls! So with the two robo hamsters (Mado and Lucy) and Sophie, we have all girl fuzzy* pets.

*The fish are not fuzzy, and how do you sex fish when both sexes look the same?


 


Oh, and I'll tell you what I told the vet techs. Calcifer has a black nose, and Howl has a pink nose.
