Lifesaving

Rachell decides to take Chester to the animal doctor to see what is bothering his little system. She watches as the veterinarian looks in his ears, down his throat and a couple of other things. Chester listens as Rachell shares his symptoms of scratching his ears and his not wanting to eat. Once he finds out the remedy where she is going to force feed, he is shocked. When it happens, he cries out on some of the pushes of dog food into his mouth to tell Rachell he is not amused by this treatment.

Several days later, Rachell piles him up in the car again. And off to the vet they go for a follow up visit to see how he is improving. Chester bounces around a bit to show her he feels much better. They enter the clinic to wait Chester’s turn. When that time came, dog and owner await the doctor in an examination room. He listens as Rachell describes his squeal when she fed him via syringe.

Chester is thrilled, “She knows what I meant!”

 “I feel bad torturing him this way,” Rachell comments to the Doc.

Dr. Kendrick replies, “Don’t think of this as torture. You save his life with every bite. Look at this as lifesaving!”
