Leaving the Emergency Room, The Wife® chauffeured me and Swee'Pea to get ice cream, but it took forever.

To make matters worse, after what seemed like an hour of waiting and woofs, the window attendant with the animated arm hand-fed Man's Best Freeloader ice cream!
A Gravy Train Sundae with Moist and Meaty sprinkles, I'm betting, or an Eukanuba Puppy Weaning Parfait.

Hmmph. I got no free ice cream. No valet feeding. No puppet show. Nothing. Not even a "Good boy" or "Howsa fella?"
Then, Donna drove me back to the hospital for my shots and the tick bath.
