A visit to the vet

Cannon loves meeting new people and going for car rides but it has not taken him long to figure out that he doesn't really like going to the vet.  After our last trip home he developed a little rash and was already "breaking out" with little bumps through out his body.  We brought him in and he was treated for Folliculitis.   Our 6 month old puppy is on antibiotics.  I snapped a few pictures of him being impatient while we were waiting for the vet.
It took us a while to teach him to wait by the door when he wanted to go out and use the bathroom.  He didn't understand why this wanted behavior didn't work at the vet.
"Seriously Dad, Lets go!"

While at the vet we also set up his neutering.  This process was more complicated then normal because Cannon has/had a condition known as Cryptorchidism, meaning hidden testicle.  One testicle did not descend properly which leads to an increased risk of testicular cancer.  Cannon was very expensively neutered Thursday.  He has more antibiotics, some pain meds and will have to return in a week to remove his stitches and  3 staples.  Poor pup.
