Poor Paxton. He really got more than what he bargained for last night.<\/p>\n

It all started when we asked him if he wanted to go “bye-bye.” \u00a0You’d think by now that he would’ve clued in to the fact that if he gets to ride in the car, that means he’s going to the vet. \u00a0But, nope! \u00a0He was all excited!!!<\/p>\n

“I get to ride in the car!!! \u00a0Yipee!!!” and he bounded off for the door.<\/p>\n

We loaded him into the backseat and drove away. \u00a0He was all excited. \u00a0He smiled at the other cars at stop lights. \u00a0Really! \u00a0That dog had a big, goofy doggie smile on his face.<\/p>\n

We pulled up in front of the vets office and he was still excited to be there!<\/p>\n

Paxton actually LIKES going to the vet. \u00a0He likes the people. He likes meeting the other animals. \u00a0He’s a happy guy! \u00a0Until…<\/p>\n

Yup. \u00a0He’s super happy until somebody comes at him with a needle. \u00a0Then it all falls apart. \u00a0Paxton turns into Niagara Falls. \u00a0That poor dog can’t “hold his water” when he’s nervous. \u00a0He is especially nervous around needles.<\/p>\n

One time when Paxton was 2-ish, we took him in for his heartworm test. \u00a0For this test, they had to draw a little blood sample. \u00a0Paxton was a happy guy until he saw the needle. \u00a0The flood gates opened!<\/p>\n

To make a long story short, they eventually took Paxton out to the parking lot to draw his blood because he just couldn’t turn of the water fountain!<\/p>\n

Poor Paxton.<\/p>\n

Last night, we took Paxton is to have his nails trimmed. \u00a0No big deal except Paxton HATES having his nails trimmed. \u00a0He is the world’s biggest sissy when it comes to that. \u00a0We loaded him into the car and away we went.<\/p>\n

He was content in the examination room. \u00a0He was fine when the lady came into the room. \u00a0He was NOT fine when she let him see the nail clippers. \u00a0He was not pleased. \u00a0At all.<\/p>\n

MFH (My Favorite Husband) put Paxton in a half-nelson (kinda) to hold him still while the lady trimmed his nails. \u00a0Paxton was making these sounds like the lady was trying to kill him~~~she hadn’t even touched him yet! \u00a0HAHA!!!<\/p>\n

Anyway, he got his nails trimmed AND lived to tell the tale. \u00a0AND he “held his water” the entire time!<\/p>\n

I was so proud of him! \u00a0My pudgy pooch is growing up. \u00a0*sniff* \u00a0*wipes away tear*<\/p>\n

What a goofy dog! \u00a0HA!<\/p>\n
