Here's Clawdia wanting to go visit Donna a few years ago. She was showing me by sitting on the zippered "door" to her carrier. I'm using this old photo to tell the world that Clawdia had a difficult day Thursday, when I grabbed her unexpectedly, put her IN that carrier, and took her to the vet for her regular checkup. She's fine, even though she screamed in the elevator that she was being kidnapped — again — against her will.
Alyssa, a dog person, drove us there. I unzipped Clawdia's carrier enough for her to poke her head out and enjoy the scenery along the way. She saw people and cars and grass and trucks and trees and more green stuff growing. She quietly gazed at the things we were passing. Oh, how nice to get out of our apartment! This, that, and the other were very interesting to look at. It was ALL fascinating, so different from the view she usually has from our sixth floor windows. I must admit, though, that she was quite happy to get home after visiting the vet.
Clawdia used to like sleeping inside her carrier, as in this 2015 photo. Somewhere along the way, she realized how "dangerous" that could be, making it far too easy for Bonnie to zip it up and take her off to the vet. Now the carrier mostly just gathers dust when not in use. She occasionally sits on the door, still, but not on a regular basis.
