My wife took our dog, who...

...has a bum leg, to the veterinarian yesterday. When she came home she said, "You're not going to believe what the doctor recommended for Stewart -- swimming!"

"Huh?"

"Yep; apparently it would be good for his leg."

Great. So now we're going to be like all those other obnoxious parents who have a kid on the swim team. "Sorry, we can't come over for dinner tonight -- Stew has a swim meet."

I think there's more at work here, though. If you'll recall, I wrote a post a while ago about the same vet. At the time, he recommended that Stewart wear goggles in the car since he liked to ride with his head out the window.

I just think this guy won't rest until he sells us a pair of doggie goggles!
