Tipping the Scales

George has been doing some recreational (read: on the couch on the back porch) peeing for the last couple weeks. So we took him to the vet this morning, because that could be a sign of a UTI (he has some bacteria and he got an antibiotic shot) and he also needed a bunch of shots. Poor George!

No but he’s a big dude. The vet tech went to put him on the scale to get his weight and she put him on sort of awkwardly at first and he literally tipped the scale over. With his weight. So the next time you feel bad about your weight, comfort yourself with the fact that your fat ass isn’t literally upending the scale. And then we all laughed. Later on the way home we laughed again and I might have cried a little I was laughing so hard. 

For the record 17.5 lbs.
