Linus went to the vet for his annual checkup today. The experience is always traumatizing. Both for him and myself. It didn't help that the vet tech showed me his chart which was noted with a small character similar to the drawing below. Those are devil horns. I guess he didn't make a very good first impression.
All things being what they were, he didn't do too badly. The vet picked him up by the armpits to look at his tummy, took him back and put him on the scale, poked around in his ears, and all he emitted was one minor hiss.
Props to Linus. He weighs 14 pounds.
