Things you do for pets

So, I had to carry Max, my datsun mut mix, in to the vet yesterday. We needed a urine sample for him. Normally he will pee at the drop of a hat (which is what he was there for, actually). This time, I spent ten minutes following him around out front with a small cup on a stick........ well, they ended up getting it with a needle. But, the whole image of following a small dog around with a cup on a stick, while traffic is whizzing by on the road.... well, I found it amusing.

(Oh, and he does have a bladder infection, so I've got to give him pills for the next two weeks).
