Dogtor

I'll bet whoever did this was trying to steal my dog. Now I'll have to take the poor pooch to a dogtor.

Where do you take a sick dog? To the dogtor. [illustration of a dog being carried on a stretcher by two doctors]

I took Sandy to the dogtor Tuesday and she had to spend the night in the dogspital. I've got her on the same schedule as me to take medications and I'm going to have to bathe her every other day with her prescription shampoo to get her skin to heal. The poor little critter has been scratching constantly and it may take a while to get her better.

His red hair was shaggy and in need of a trim, and his rangy body was clad in jeans and a slightly ratty gray sweatshirt that said “Trust me, I'm a dogtor," instead of a three-piece suit.

What kind of dog works in a hospital? A dogtor. [illustration of a dog, dressed as a doctor, putting a thermometer in a human child's mouth]

Of course we try to maintain the highest human standards. But it's true; we do have an extra advantage. We have a staffer of another species. His name is Zoro, our three-legged healer, the Dogtor, our little friend.

In Chew on Things – It Helps You Think: Words of Wisdom from a Worried Canine, Casey B. Worrywart, Dogtor of Philosophy, explains his window-seat views on life. He shares how he managed to deal with his own ups and downs, with matter-of-factness and humor, inspiring fellow worrywart canines (and people) to cope better.

Well, there’s really nothing I can do to change the minds of dogs like Dogtor Daisy other than to live my life and lead my pack according to what is good, right, and healthy for my family. That includes two good walks per day, plenty of rest, and an appropriate ration of daily kibble and water, or appropriate human substitutes.
