Sampson, our Rottie, has had some problems with his hip. He has to have 1/2 of a shot (the same thing horses use) and he is taking it once a week. Our nurse Phanise, who usually does this, was not here so I went to our clinic to find a “brave soul” to give Sampson his shot!

Sampson is a “sweetie,” but he just “looks mean!” Madamn Beatrice (the short nurse in the front) “volunteered” to give the shot, but the other nurses were laughing so hard at her, they all decided to come along! (Notice that everyone was “gloving up!” I’m not sure if they thought it would take all four of them but they piled into my cruiser!)

The big guy with Sampson is Gilbert… “Sampson’s best friend!” They loaded up the syringe while Gilbert assured Sampson it would be OK, and I kept telling him he would get a “treat!” The project was finished quickly and Sampson got his shot, and his treat – and the nurses got a good story to tell their friends! Laughter is good medicine!!!
