Charlie visited the veterinarian on Friday.

It was just a routine visit to trim his beak and toenails, and accustom him to riding and the office.

It went off without a hitch, though it was a match wrestling him into the Pet Pocket.

He was well-behaved and obedient, if a little leery of the Dremel and clippers.

Lucy is welcome to visit the office for a few hours a week if it's necessary.
