Duncan's check-up

The kids and I took Duncan to the vet this morning before dance for his follow-up appointment.  He weighed in at a respectable 93 lbs., having lost 11 lbs. in just one month (wish I could).  I was very pleased, and I think the vet was impressed, too.  When the vet tech took Duncan's temperature rectally, Elizabeth sort of crinkled up her nose--I'm pretty sure she'd never seen that done before--but watched closely just the same--very funny!  After Duncan was vaccinated, Elizabeth asked whether or not he would get a sticker?  She also was surprised that he didn't feel a thing.  The vet was great with both kids--he even took the extra time to let them listen to Duncan's heart with his stethoscope (Jack said, "Cool!"  Elizabeth said, "Ooooo!  That's loud!").  All in all, it was a good visit.
