'Eww'calyptus oil

 10th September, 2013

You know the feeling, right? When someone tells you NOT to do something, and you just HAVE to do it! This happens to me all the time. Like the other day, when there was a glass bottle kept on the counter. I heard Mommy telling someone that 'Chhotu should not be able to get at it'. That was it!

I jumped onto the counter, where it was just out of my reach. I stuck my neck out (literally), till I could atleast topple it over with my nose. The bottle broke and some liquid spilt over. I had barely licked that yucky-tasting oil, when there was a squeal behind me and I was picked up and removed from there. 

Why would someone tempt you with a bitter tasting oil, and then snatch you away from the scene of action?! I tried my best to get that icky, sticky feeling out of my mouth (maybe this will teach me to listen to Mommy next time). Suddenly, I realised that I was running around the living room in circles. And I could not stop. I had a funny, dizzy feeling and remember being faintly puzzled.

Mommy seemed really worried. She picked up her cell (it is one of my favourite toys!) and called Papa. Within a few minutes, he was home, and they took me to the vet. By then, I was not running around much, and could actually sit in the car while they drove me there.

The vets there know me well. I think they are rather fond of me, but then, who isn't? What is not to love? A cute, adorable puppy who shows you the time of your life. Spend an hour with me, and I promise there will not be one dull moment. I will keep you on your toes. Ask Mommy :)

Well, back to the vet visit. I barked a few friendly hellos to the dogs sitting there. How can dogs sit in a place and not try to jump all over each other? Boring!Sniffing at other dogs' private parts is so much fun!!

The vet checked me up and did not seem too worried (I am a big, strong boy now, Papa says). They told the vet I drank some eucalyptus oil. She did not seem surprised at all.

In a few minutes we were on the way back home. My learning of the day: No more 'eww'calyptus oil for me. Atleast not for a very long time.

In an introspective mood. Mommy asked me to think about what I did wrong today..
