Awkward


This story is a not for the squeamish:

So my little friend Arlo had to go to the vet yesterday.  That was one of the most awkward phone calls I think I have ever made.  It went something like this, "Hi Megan (vet tech), it's Kara.  My pup, Arlo seems to have a little situation going on.....it seems that his "wiener" is stuck....I mean....it's not all the way out....but it's not in either.....I'm thinking you guys probably want to take a look?"  Thank god, I know this particular vet tech so we were both laughing through the conversation. (Laughter is the best way to deal with the awkward.)  And yes, they did want to see him. 

It seems that Arlo's little problem was ununsual in the sense that he had a infection going on inside which caused his "wiener" to get stuck.  There was so much junk inside that he needed to be flushed out.  Gross I know! I know because I watched the whole time!  Poor little guy! And it was not pretty to watch.  But Arlo was a little champ! My vet said she had never seen this particular problem before, but she checked everything out and thinks an antibiotic will take care of it.  Strange stuff I tell ya!

Everything seems to be ok this morning, because little Arlo was running around like Speed Racer.
