River's Vetting and a Walk

River had to go to the vet on Sunday to get her heart worm panel run, making her up to date on all her shots and blood work, which means she is officially available to be adopted.

She was such a champ. The vet we used through the rescue is a walk-in only vet. We arrived right at 11, when they opened, and were 12th in line. This meant we got to hang around the clinic for about 5 hours.

The plus side about this was I got to really see how River responded to a few things.

First, I thought that River didn't like to go on walks. Turns out she just doesn't like to walk near cars. We walked behind the clinic where there were no cars and she had a blast! Since there we have taken her to a park for a long walk which she just loved.

Second, I got to see how she responded to being in a crowded waiting room full of dogs, cats, rats, and all kinds of people. She didn't mind at all. She sat by me most of the time but ventured out to sniff some other dogs.

She is a shy girl but she was a rock star in this situation!!
