Curly is a faker!

There was great interest when Benjamin wrote on his blog about me running the Curly-Bug into the E-Vet on Wenesday evening. He was couging really hard like the was trying to cough something up, and the last thing I wanted was to wake up and find him unable to breathe in the middle of the night. So, I ran him in. He coughed and choked on the way there, but when we got there, he was mysteriously without symptoms. The staff petted him, and said how cute he was, and enquired about what kind of cough it was. When they started quizzing me about kennel cough and reverse sneezing, I told them I had worked in a shelter for 6 years, and knew it was neither of those. This was a scary, choking cough, and with Curly, you just never know what he could have gotten into while playing in the yard. When he started to strut around the exam room acting like he was about to lift his leg and mark something, I knew he was fine. We left after being there an hour, and haven't heard the cough since.

So yes, Curly is a faker! Maybe he was feeling left out with all the attention Emma has been getting. I personally think it's his allergies, so we'll play it by ear, and I'll probably start getting him treated by our homeopathic vet. I'll keep everyone posted, but for now, Curly is fine.
