Nurse Shirley

Emme has taken on the role of nurse. In the last few days, Rudy has had some digestive upsets and yesterday we discovered that he has some red spots in his ears, probably another ear infection. We have a vet appointment at 9:45 this morning but Emme wants to make sure we know that there is a problem with Rudy. This morning she went up to Rudy as he was lying on the floor next to the dining room table and began sniffing the outside of his ears. She backed up and started whining in a way she hasn't whined before. She would whine, bark and look up at us. It was like she was saying, "There is something wrong here, guys. Fix it." She did this over and over for about four minutes. She didn't like what she was smelling and she was upset about it. It was like she was a school nurse, Nurse Shirley, diagnosing a sick student. Soon, Emme, we will take Rudy to the vet and get him fixed. Thanks for the medical advice.
