I want to start this story by stating that Harley and I were not on the best of terms last evening before I left for work. He may or may not have peed on the spare bed and I may or may not have been furious. (I will let you make assumptions on how we ended things before I went to work.) So the vibe between Harley and I was already tense this morning because the episode that may or may not have happened the night before was still pretty fresh. Though we still needed to deal with each other to get to the vet. To start this fun experience out, I want to give you a visual of how things were going down. You have myself who is barely breaking 5'0" and Harley who is 70lbs and can put his front paws on my shoulders. The size factor was not in my favor today, but lets face it I am the boss and Harley was going to listen to me one way or the other. So we got into the garage, Harley was so excited because he had free run on all the socks, little did he know what was to come. I then had to ever so slyly get his leash on and coax him near the car. Harley HATES car rides, and I mean I can kind of understand I wouldn't enjoy not fitting on the seat properly and being to clumsy to stand and look out the window. The moment the car door opened Harley took off in the opposite direction (grand) and in my failed attempt to catch him I tried to pick him up (Fail, 1 point Harley's size, 0 points Chelsea's size) After a few sprints around the car he finally gave in and I was able to kind of shove him into the back seat.
Finally we are on the road (only a 10 minute set back) and everything is going just fine. Then all the sudden I feel something cool and slimy drip down my arm. I turn and all I see is a huge black, slobbery face staring back at me. I actually burst out laughing, it seriously was as if I had a horse in my back seat. We got to the vets office with little problem, Harley was his normal social self greeting everyone as they walked in. (On a side note, Harley nearly took the head off of a Jack Russel Ha, I had to silently laugh and how big Harley's paws were in comparison to the little Jack's head! Harley's size 2 points, everyone/thing else 0 points! )
After the vet we packed up to head home, getting into the car this time around was a breeze, It wasn't until we were about 5 minutes away from the house that I knew trouble was brewing. Harley started to slobber uncontrollably, I mean buckets of slobber! I started to panic I knew what followed this and I did NOT want to clean my car out today. So I crossed my fingers and by some luck we made it home. (Just in time, and I mean JUST IN TIME!)

So for the rest of the day Harley and I have stationed ourselves to our favorite spots on the couch and will be watching True Blood reruns for the rest of the day!
(PS if anyone was concerned Harley is as healthy as a "horse"!)
