Halloween Xerxes
Posted on Wednesday, 10/31/2007 at 18:39
Xerxes has become something of a pet among the nurses and technicians at our vet clinic, due to his all-too-frequent visits and his tractable, good-natured behavior. The other day he had his teeth cleaned. I dropped him off in the morning, and when I came to pick him up in the afternoon he was sporting gleaming teeth and also this dapper neckerchief, with which the nurses had decorated him:
This isn't a very lively picture--he was still dozy from the anesthetic and just napped on the floor all evening--but it's the only one I've got of him in the scarf where he isn't moving. He doesn't seem to mind the neckwear, which we've put it on him for an hour or so several times since then. He is, of course, wearing it today. Maybe he just likes the fact that we keep telling him how adorable he is, and playing with him, but by now he knows he doesn't need a scarf for that. He has got us utterly whipped.
Happy Halloween to all four-legged, two-legged, and no-legged friends.
