The Adventures of Miss Luna

I’ve been worrying about Luna all day as soon as I learned that she wasn’t getting ’sprayed’, she was getting ’speyed’, which is a lot scarier! I kind of half remember my spey experience and it wasn’t very nice, though I did get a lot of sympathy and attention out of it which is always good!

Mum and Dad had to drive up to the city place to get her so they didn’t get home until it was dark. I was pretty worried to start with but when I saw Luna get out the car verrrry slowwwly I was very concerned! She wagged her tail when she saw me but I don’t think she really knew who I was. She wags her tail at anything most of the time.

As soon as she came inside, she eased herself very gently down on a bed on the floor, looking very sleepy.

I went over and sniffed her but she didn’t do anything. It was really weird.

She was just so sleepy and dopey! Plus her stomach smelled strange and looked a bit weird too.

I thought I better lay down and protect her just in case any bad people or doggies might find her. She wouldn’t be able to defend herself! Poor Luna.

I really hope my little sister gets better soon so we can run and play just like we used to. I guess she will, cos I had the same thing and I am fine now! Just a waiting game I suppose, lucky I’m a pretty patient kinda puppy.

I knew today was some kind of special day as soon as Mum called Luna in to have cuddles on the bed. This usually only happens on weekends! And today definitely isn’t a weekend. Then after we all got up, Luna got more special cuddles from Dad (who I don’t think was actually properly awake yet).

Not to be left out, I made sure I got special cuddles too.

Mum explained to me that today was a special day cos Luna was getting sprayed. We were going to go for a long drive up to the city and we had to leave her at the vet place all day, and pick her up again tonight.

The bit I don’t understand is, why does she have to go all the way up there to get sprayed? Mum and Dad spray us all the time with the hose in the front yard. I guess it must be some kind of special spray.

I kinda hoped that it was all some kind of joke and that we were actually just going to the beach (you can get sprayed there too with the waves!), but nope, we headed in totally the wrong direction.

When we got there, we both had to stand on a measuring platform kinda thing to see how heavy we were. I thought I would be way heavier cos I am heaps taller, but I was only 53 kilograms! Luna the little fatty was 50 kg! After that, Luna went into a little room where they did strange things to her (glad I wasn’t her when they stuck that thing up her bum – ewww!) and then Mum took her out the back with the nice lady and then came back without her.

That was it! Luna was gone!

On the way home, we stopped for some breakfast for Dad. I was a bit sad cos Luna was gone, so he gave me some of his muffin. I thought I better bung on the sad and upset show for a bit longer and politely declined.

But I made sure I kept a close eye on it so I could eat it when I got home.

So that’s it so far – now I’m at home, Mum is about to go to work, and later on we are going to pick up Luna from the spraying place (I hope she won’t be too wet).

EDIT: Ok Mum just informed me that I got it wrong – the word is “SPEY” not “SPRAY”. Oops! So apparently it’s nothing to do with getting wet with water, and more to do with something that happened to me a while ago.
