Doing fine. Thanks for asking. Annual physical. He's 16, so that's how many human years? Hmm, 80. en.wikipedia.org. But because he's very much a pet with his own mind; fights with everything and everyone, despite, of course, being lovable, but because of that he has to be sedated just to be given a physical and get his shots. So I worry that this is hard on him so we are going to have to skip the physicals. Vet says no; that pet sedatives are now remarkable. No problem. But the vet says he's in remarkable shape; shed some earlier years in which he was pre-diabetic. Can still cruise around outside for a bit every day. And then haunt me whenever I open up a bit of ice cream for lunch desert. Just loves the stuff he can't have.
