Day 262: Merry had his first checkup this morning, and passed with flying colours. Any concerns I might have had were addressed and dismissed, and his doctor told me that she was very happy when she saw our names on her appointment list. I've been going to the same vet since the days when my cockatoo was still with me, almost twenty-five years now. Merry was not exactly happy about getting poked and squeezed, but he behaved himself beautifully. When we got home, the first thing he wanted was the security of my lap (where he is right now, all teeth and toenails and telling me I should be petting him and not typing...OW! THAT'S MY ELBOW!), and after a nap, he had a snack and playtime. Given the way the rest of June progressed, I am glad to have this initial visit behind us, and my little mischievous sweetheart given a clean bill of health.
