Ruby's Perspective ... Going to the Doctor with Daniel

Hi, Everybody.  Ruby here.

Daniel had an appointment with his cancer doctor today.  Mom took me with them because no one else was at home to watch me, and she didn't want me to be in my crate for such a long time.  (She's a really good Mom and she loves me very much ... I'm glad I picked her.)

 
 
I like Daniel's doctor.  She hugged with me and scratched my ears and told me that I will be a wonderful therapy dog.  Then she told Mom that Daniel is doing even better than he was when she saw him three weeks ago.  That made Mom happy.  I like it when Mom is happy.
 
Daniel had to go to the "back" (wherever that is) so he could get his special medicine.  The doctor said that he was getting a meatball ... I like meatballs, but I don't need the special medicine so I can't have one.  While Daniel was gone, Mom and I sat on the floor and waited.
 
 
 
When we left the doctor, Mom told us that she was going to have lunch with her friend Deborah, and that she was going to leave us in the car for a little while.  She also told us that she would take us to get a special treat when she got back.  (Daniel gets treats whenever he goes to the doctor ... he tries to hide it, but I can tell because I can smell it on his breath when he comes home.)
 
Our next stop was a place called The Drive Through.  Mom told the man in the little box that she wanted "a double cheeseburger plain, please".  Mom broke the cheeseburger into little pieces and she took turns giving some to Daniel and some to me.  This was the first time I ever tasted cheeseburger, and I really like it!
 
 
 
It was a long day for us.  There was a lot of traffic on the highway, and it took us longer than it normally would to get home.  I didn't mind, though, because Mom and Daniel and I got to spend more time together riding in the car on a beautiful sunny day.  I like riding in the car.
