The Adventures of

Buddy & Max 4 – At the Doctor

Buddy & Max were playing with a Frisbee, in the yard

They were being a little ruff playing, really hard

            But all of a sudden, pain struck in

            It hurt Buddy like sitting, on a pin

A bumble bee on his rump, had left his regard

 

Buddy began to howl such a, dreadful sound

All the neighborhood heard, all-round

            It sounded like someone, was killing

            Or at least very much, just willing

To make someone’s discomfort, more compound

 

Poor Max did not know what, he could do

To ease Buddy’s pain so he started, howling too

            Then the man came to, the rescue

            And the puppies, took their cue

The man could make things better, they both knew

 

But Buddy & Max had not, counted on

The man taking Buddy to a, dog salon

            To see the, Vet-Doctor

            A really, show-stopper

Buddy panicked about what was, going on

 

Buddy did not like people in, white coats

They had a funny odor they smelled, like goats

            Everything around them, was scary

            He did not feel safe, not vary

The feeling to leave he sensed, the most

 

But there was a familiar odor the, nose knows

It was the man’s scent that Buddy’s, nose knows

            He felt so, much better

            A real, pain-forgetter

Buddy did not have to look because his, nose knows

 

He could tell by the smell it reminded him, of home

Buddy felt much better he was not so, alone

            Then he felt a, friendly hand

            The touch on his head, of the man

But what would happen next was still, unknown

 

The man assured Buddy that things, would be ok

Lie still that is the way, he must stay

            Let the doctor have, a look-see

            To find out what, it could be

Causing you so much pain, that a way

 

Buddy was shaking with, much fear

Each time the Doctor, came near

            What he, found next

            Left him, perplexed

The doctor could see one thing, real clear

 

There was a small red spot upon, inspection

That sent the doctor in a different, direction

            He told Buddy, nothing to fear

            I can tell that a, bee has been here

At least now that is my, conception

 

The Doctor put on some salve and gave Buddy, a treat

It was not his favorite but it was something, to eat

            The sound he was, just waiting to hear

             Was the man say Buddy, let’s get out of here

Away from the Doctor back home sounded, real sweet

 

Now going to the Doctor can sound a, little scary

But when you are sick you don’t feel, very merry

            The only way you will, ever get well

            Is to go to the Doctor, they can tell

There is nothing to fear its quite, the contrary

 

Buddy & Max were safe at, home once again

Buddy & Max were very, grateful  Amen

            Puppies living together, with the man

            Doing their best the, best they can

They prayed together this, would never end

 

Buddy & Max learned to, trust and obey

Buddy & Max learned there’s, no other way

           Don’t make a judgment on, your first impression

           Trust the Doctors, that’s their profession

They can help you have a, better today

 

Buddy learned that pain is trying to, tell you something

But what is very painful can sometimes, be just nothing

            Put your trust in the people, who know

            Don’t ever trust a stranger, although

Don’t try to heal yourself that would, be a dumb thing

 

Buddy & Max know their Vet-Doctor, is their best friend

When Buddy got hurt that’s when their, friendship began

            Max watched Buddy, when he was in pain

            He watched as Buddy, recovered again

You can trust your Doctor Buddy & Max, both recommend
