Primping and preening

I had one final test...I went to the vet's office with Bettis. There were all kinds of little dogs and lots of people telling me how handsome I am! Of course I know this, but I played humble and just laid my head on their shoulder and allowed them all to pet me. I did not growl or bark. Maybe I let out a whine or two to remind people I was there and needed petted, but nothing more than that. Even the vet said I was a fine specimen. He weighed me and I was almost 89 lbs!! I guess the games have still not stopped because my foster mom got out a tool and kept touching my toes with it. It kind of tickled, so I would pull my toes back. She did tell me to quit trying to sniff this tool when it was running. She said it would make my toenails pretty. I wasn't too sure about it, but when I realized it just made my toes tickled, I let her trim my nails. They feel much better now! I do have to say that all of these tests and primping and preening have me a little bit sleepy. I'm going to take a nap so I can bounce a bit more in the morning! Rumor has it I am going to meet some new friends on Saturday!!
