F always rides carsick, and also anxious, but we forgot to get Dramamine for motion sickness approved before taking him in for anesthesia, and it was too early to call them. So he traveled in for his biopsy in training mode, laid across my front seat with his head held [gently-firmly] down, and words of command to stay still combined with words of comfort to reinforce the self-calming behavior he showed in response to the stilled head position. He shook all the way but stayed kewl enough to not upchuck, which is what he worries he will do that makes him so anxious. I left Dramamine for the pickup ride though!

Sweet Hardi-- doing so many little things to make this better for Faulkner. Ydy F achieved chair status-- not WITH Hardi but IN his chair ON me. And couch status to, next to me. My chair is not big enough for F.

Lots of cleansing boohoos ydy. A good talk with our boarding kennel lady, who may not be able to take him for our vacay this year. Hm.....
