Today was the yearly check up and distemper shot day. We of course warned Motor yesterday.
This morning DH work up and fed Motor and went to shower. Motor ate and came up to snuggle with me still in bed. The shower went off from DH and Motor jumped under the bed. I showered and we began trying to get Motor out from under the bed. NOTHING was working - even the bonito flakes got no notice. So I had the bright idea of getting the vacuum and putting it under the bed. Yup - came running out. DH grabbed him and walked down the hall.
DH got peed on - again. Apparently Motor thinks this might get him out of going into the cage. It doesn't, just makes more laundry and cleaning up!
Get to the vet. No problems in the car.
Hissed at the vet and we yelled at him. (Started this after getting insulin shots). Apparently attacked the vet tech for trying to cut his nails. (Normally an angel at the vet).
Got back into the car to go home. DH went off to work on his motorcycle. I opened the top of Motor's cage so he can look out the window. Done this tons of times before.
Get to the last turn before we are in the parking lot of our apartment. Motor jumps out of his cage and jumps under my feet at the drivers side. he then leans ON the gas pedal and UNDER the break. OMG! Good thing no one was parked at the visitor parking! I had to turn fast and jam the truck into park!!! WOOO!
I got out of the truck and tried to convince Motor we were basically home and could come out from the truck. That took another 10 minutes. Got him back into the carrier - with the top CLOSED and made it to our parking spot. Carried him into the house and let him out.
I have since cleaned the cage and put the two towels with him in the wash. He has cleaned himself SEVERAL times since and eaten lunch. But he's very jumpy now and won't sit still! Which is ok with me since I'm a little jumpy too!
Below is the picture of Motor is his very special place in the truck he will NEVER go to again! GEESH!
