Interesting conversation at the vet.

Since I'm allergic to cats, I stick with dogs. But I still think cats are cute as the dickens.

But I did have a funny reaction the last time I was at the doctor's office.

Unfortunate I was there because of an intestinal disturbance. The doc diagnosed it as viral and gave me a prescription. The then said that a Nurse would be in to give me my first dose as a shot. The nurse came in, saw me in the kilt and said "Oh this will be easy."

She asked me to stand up and turn around. At which point she promptly flung the back of my kilt up and jammed the needle home!

Afterwards she commented that it was the easiest shot she'd given all day.

That is hillarious, Glassman!

My wife and I maintain quite a menagerie, in addition to our small flock of hens, with their two roosters; we have three African geese, a white duck, a turkey hen, two dogs, about twenty cats and a room full of cages with 21 guinea pigs. Our account with our vet is quite large, even though she gives us a discount on spays and neuterings. Oh, I forgot our miniature mule. The biggest problem I have encountered so far with cats and kilts, is when one of the cute little felines decides to jump on my lap, and uses their claws to get a foothold. Ouch!!!

My cat actually seemed disappointed the first time she tried that on my UK Workmans and didn't get a reaction ...

My devious wife is trying to teach our black lab/greyhound mix dog to cold-nose me under the kilt.

Hmm... maybe THAT'S why she's bought me two kilts and has a third one on the way for Christmas... I think there's a madness to her method!

Nice to see how many animal lovers are on the board. The pillow does indeed say it all. I could not imagine life without one or two of the furry critters having the run of the house. I lucked out in marrying a woman who is as cat-crazy as I am.

KCW...your two kitties really do look like younger copies of mine! That is rather incredible, especially since your Murphy is diabetic as well.

We had a minor emergency with Lincoln yesterday...he went mildly hypo-glycemic on us. Had to make a quick trip to the vet with him, but everything turned out fine. They want us to keep him off the insulin for the next two days, then bring him back in for another blood-glucose check. They'll probably have us reduce his dose after that.

Here's another shot of him that's kinda cute. He had 9 teeth removed in July, including his upper fangs. Every so often he gets this cool Billy Idol sneer going. LOL

Al, then you'll love this other tie-in, he has also had some teeth removed! Glad Lincoln is OK. We actually just had Murphy into the vets last week as he was losing weight and we were concerned. They did a glucose check and had us up his dosage.

That's nothing - I have a 100 lb. Rottweiler/German Shepherd/Pit Bull/Beagle mix that like to duck his head and walk between people's legs. You should the looks people have when I'm talking to them and the bottom of my kilt starts lifting ... by itself ... and a nose emerges ... followed by a dog's head

(and body if he doesn't stop).

And depending on where he decides to stop, occassionally it looks like I have a wagging tail sticking out the back of my kilt!

Great story. Guinness (our dog) is a big ball-chasing dog, but when he brings it back he likes to chomp on it next to your leg for a while before dropping it. Sometimes he chooses to do it BETWEEN your legs instead of on the side of your leg (luckily he's only about knee-high or my son wouldn't be around). But when kilted, you get this nice dirty/grass-covered/snowy slobber running down the inside of your leg.

Labs aren't clean dogs, let's just say that.
