Subject: Vet Care

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”

The distressed woman wailed,
“Are you sure?”


“Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied
the vet..

“How can you be so sure?” she
protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or
something.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned
around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later
with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on
in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his
front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from
top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and
shook his head.

The vet patted the dog on the
head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he
returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also
delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on
its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and
strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the
woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most
definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”

The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and
produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..

The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “$150!” she
cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!”

The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it,
the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the
Cat Scan, it’s now $150.”

Before we meet the Pet Morons, we here at the Pet Thread would like to point out an observation we have made. Every week the horde submits photos of their pets. Many of the pets in these photos have passed away. It is amazing how many of these pets touched your lives and are still in your thoughts and hearts. The Pet Thread appreciates you sharing your photographs.

A very fine looking cat with the name of Roscoe. Roscoe was adopted from a rescue shelter by Skookumchuk.

Meet Beryl Gray with his little Dalmatian puppy Lily. What an adorable puppy.

Roxxy, a sweet Lab, was dressed up this past Christmas. Red Dish is the Roxxy's decorator.

Thank you for stopping by. Please remember we are trying our best to get the pet photo submissions up as quickly as we can. There has been an incredible amount of photos sent in. We appreciate your patience. If you would like to contact the Pet Thread you may at petmorons at the g mail dot com.
