My Assistant's Bad Day......
Our assistants become our family, don't they? W
ell, that is exactly how I feel about my associate, Billy. It was time for his checkup, so I dutifully accompanied him to his doctor's visit.
It was hard to watch, but I knew he was in good hands. Billy goes to Woodstown Veterinary Hospital in Woodstown, NJ.
They are all so nice there.....but Billy isn't convinced of that.
They told him he needed shots, a blood-test, a pedicure and he was overweight.
Oh yeah....poor ol' Billy has an overbite, too. I think he felt that he was being picked on.
He was a good boy though.
He stood still and behaved.
I could read in his eyes that he wasn't having one bit of fun.
What upset him the most was the discussion about his weight. Don't tell him that I told you this, but he topped the scale at 19 lbs. (definitely too much for a miniature dacshund!)
His treats must be limited now.
He beloved cheese must be cut back to next-to-none.
His walks must be increased.
In other words, he needs to conform to a doggie's version of Weight Watchers!
Looks like he'll be counting points for awhile. 
Salem County is actually very fortunate because there are several very, very good veterinarians here. The Woodstown folks have taken care of several of Billy's 'siblings' for our family......and done so quite nicely.
As the most rural county in the entire state of NJ, we really need to have a number of veterinarians. My boss likes to say that "We have more cows than people down here." (he exaggerates, but he's kinda funny!)
The Woodstown Veterinary Hospital is located at 1250 Route 40, Pilesgrove, NJ 08098 (I swear Billy could smell that he was getting close!)
They can be reached at 856-769-2788.
While their sign along route 40 is very attractive, Billy's favorite is their interior sign, shown here.
After woofing at the 70lb German Shepherd waiting her turn to see Dr. Mike, Billy was happy to follow the arrow.
