took my bunny, puppy, to her first vet visit yesterday. since she'll be travelling with me to boston this summer, she needed to have a check up to get a 10-day health certificate in order for the pet transportation service to help me move her the 500-miles to boston.

i've had her for just over a year now (yes, it's still only been her first vet visit...). and she spent last summer with a friend in buffalo. :( i felt terrible and definitely missed her all summer. so this year, she's coming with! :)

she freaked out a bit in the car at first, and a little more in the waiting room, but other than that was impressively well-behaved.  i was pretty nervous that the dogs and (actual) puppies might scare her, but she seemed pretty chill about it.  getting back into the examination room, she came out for her weighing, nail clipping and ear cleaning session with the nurses. calmly came out. quietly sat there while they did their thing. same thing for when the doctor came in. she only flinched a little when dr. dorn checked her teeth, but other than that, did great!

super proud of my puppy. she did good.

i now have a healthy, content, 4lb 8oz bunny who is ready to set off on her new adventure to boston, mass.  fingers crossed that goes just as well.

thanks to ishan for giving me a ride to the West Liberty Animal Hospital.

oh hai.
