Nick: Fire away.

Joe: You had a doctor’s visit.

Nick: Yes, and usually I add “unfortunately” when speaking of my doctor’s visits.  I am getting up there, you know.

Joe: But still looking young!

Nick: You are too nice, Joe.  Anyhoo, the doctor this time was different!  I loved working with Doctor Pierce, the best Vet in Reno, at Reno Animal Hospital.  He treated an area that I, ahem, had been scratching for quite some time.

Joe: Some time?

Nick: Okay, all the time.  But my side got the help it needed.  But now…

Joe: Now, what?  Why so glum?

Nick: I have to wear this tee-shirt so I don’t scratch and everything can heal.

Joe: Looks good on you.

Nick: Really?  I don’t look like I just got back from softball practice?

Joe: Well, now that you mention it…

Nick: Seriously?

Joe: Just kidding.  You’re pretty stylin!

Nick: That’s what I like to hear.

Joe: Any final thoughts?

Nick: Yes.  Recovery is the best thing even though I grumble about it.  You know how dogs get.  I am getting the help I need here at Homer J’s Senior dog Sanctuary!
