Zorros trip to the emergency Dr.

Last night (Friday) started out pretty uneventful.
Zorro snuggled up with his "FruMom" while they watched a movie, he loves to snuggle and watch movies or tv. Zorro was half awake and half asleep, and rolled off of the bed onto the wood floor about 3.5 to 4 '!
I made sure right away that he wasn't hurt badly but since there are alot of things you just can't see and sometimes don't know about, I called the emergency Dr. and told them I was bringing him in.
He was running around the house before we left and didn't seem to be in any pain, but since a fall like that can cause alot of problems I wanted to make sure he was fine.
We got there pretty early 9:45 or so. There were about 7 other dogs that were considered more critical than he was so they had their turn first.
Zorro snorted with his little nort, nort nort noises in the room and looked out the door a couple of times.
They came in to apologize for the long wait. Zorro finally had his turn at around 12:30 or so!
The Dr. examined him and said he would be fine, and complimented me on how healthy he is since he's a "senior" dog. (Just don't tell Zorro that since races around like a puppy most of the time!)
The Dr. took him in the back room to watch him walk and to trim his nails. When it was time for him to go home, one of the nice gals that works at the emergency room came out with a jar of baby food as a special treat for Zorro! She used a wooden stick and put some baby food on each end. Zorro tried to get the whole jar of baby food and thought this was yummy stuff! He also licked some off of her fingers. He sat up with his chubby tummy sticking out and begged for more! He also started to show off by playing a little.
I knew after that he was just fine for sure!
It was a long night, we got home at 1:30 or so and Cassie was waiting for us. So, I made sure she could look him over too and see he was ok. I tucked Zorro into his kennel and he was so happy to be home!
Cassie wakes up early almost every morning and woke us up before 7, so the two of us didn't get alot of sleep. Zorro is fine , thank goodness and is taking a nice nap right now.
