Today was my annual check-up with Dr. B.!  Dr. B. was absolutely thrilled to see how much I have grown since she last saw me!  Mommy was thrilled, too:  I have put on almost another 10 grams since last month!

Dr. B. looked me all over, declared me healthy and the cutest, and gave me another nail trim.  Nice nurse Kim even gave me head rubs during my nail trim.  It was like going to the spa!

Dr. B. is at a different vet center from where she used to be.  Her new place has the most horrifying examining tables:  They are covered in squishy, dark blue, nonslip material that I absolutely abhor!  When Mommy first put me on the table, I was paralyzed with horror at the awful blue stuff I was sitting on.  So nurse Kim gave me a paper towel to sit on.  I spent the rest of my visit going round and round my paper towel peering at the awful blue stuff surrounding me.  I tried putting one or two feet on it, but had to back up every time.  I was so upset that Mommy felt bad and gave me cuddles while we waited!

Dr. B. said something about doing some blood tests next year when I am even bigger so that she can know my baseline levels.  I don’t know what that means, but I hope she has a new table next year!

Before my check-up on Sunday, Mommy gave me a bath and I made lots of poop for Dr. B. to test.  My test results came back, and I continue to be pinworm (and all other kinds of parasite)-free!  Hooray! 🎉🐢🎉

With temperatures falling and winter starting to loom (!), Mommy decided now is a good time for a check-up to make sure I'm healthy and ready for the colder months. So off we went to the vet's yesterday!

Dr. B. was absolutely thrilled to finally see me with my eyes open! (The last time she saw me, I was still sick and sleepy.) I am almost 10 whole grams heavier, too! (And almost 5 whole grams heavier than a month ago, which means either I put on lots of weight in August, or our new scale isn't quite right.) I am also still pinworm-free!

I ran around the examining table on a soft fluffy towel and tried my best to dig through Dr. B.'s hand. Dr. B. was pleased by how nice and hard my carapace is, but she says my plastron is still a little softer than it should be. She told Mommy to start giving me calcium powder on my breakfast again. Ugh, I hate calcium powder!

Last but not least, the nice nurses gave me my first ever nail trim! Mommy is too afraid to trim my nails herself because she is worried she would hurt my tiny feeties. Now my nails are no longer pointy, which means fewer scratches for Mommy!

On the way home, we met a little girl who was so excited to meet me that she said she was going to write a whole essay on why she should be allowed to get a tortoise. We hope her mom agrees!
