Micki and I had to go to the vet yesterday. She had thrown up all over the place while I was away on Monday night, and she wasn’t eating her food, and looking generally lethargic. She’s feeling better now that she’s been given some fluids, and we should get test results later today. In the meantime, I have a few things to say about our local animal hospital, and specifically about the veterinarian that we saw. I’m going to to this Best Week Ever Style.
Impossibly good-looking Australian medical professional
McConaughey hair and muscules
Visual indication of commitment to another
Love for and excitement about the animal kingdom
Why, if you have a pet, live in the Hudson Valley, and are inclined to be attracted to men, I recommend this vet, but not in such a way that I’m going to reveal the name of the place, just in case it comes up on a Google search, but please feel free to email me and I’ll let you know.
He was to Micki what Julio was to my toilet. After the appointment, she was much friskier, and so was I.

Having a veterinarian for a boyfriend really would be handy. Equally as handy as a plumber. Are there any attractive veterinarian/plumbers (dual career choice) in the HV?
Glad Micki’s doing okay!
That particular mix might be a tall order…

This might be The. Best. Post. Ever!
Thank. You!

Oooh! You’ll need to get those test results in person, right?
Hope Micki is back to 100% soon!
I should probably turn off my phone to make sure it doesn’t ring.

just don’t start feeding micki bleach so you have bring her back to the hot vet. although he could comfort you in your time of despair.
You are a devious character, my friend. But a good idea, nonetheless.

@ pam - you took the word right off my keyboard!
Those wiley fast commenters always do.

I’m with 3Cs–he’s be totally handy to have around. See if you can work this, Noelle.
I might just do that, especially since I have two cats now.

Better leave him your home address, phone number, e-mail address, bra size, and a note advertising your availability. You know, in case he needs that stuff to treat your cat.
Yes, treatment for C-cups is totally different than that of B-cups.

I used to think my goal in life should be to marry a veterinarian. That way I could have free access to all the knowledge without having to go to vet school myself. I think maybe you should adopt this plan.
I like it! I should also marry a computer expert, an automotive specialist and a designer while I’m at it.

I like Jason’s comment.
I was excited yesterday because a new guy at the coffee shop is cute! He was wearing a wedding ring though. Boo.
Weren’t you wearing one too, Missy?
Laurel // July 17, 2008 at 10:52 am
Darn married, adorable animal-loving Aussie vets!
No, no, not married! (I just realized that the “minus sign” in front of the wedding ring doesn’t format properly on all browsers.)

I have a really sexy dentist. After he took my wisdom teeth out and the gas he gave me just rocked my world I told my mom I should definitely try to marry a sexy dentist (this was way before I met Hot Brazilian). Then I remembered how much I hate going to the dentist so my idea turned out not to be so great.
I don’t think I could live with a dentist, for moral reasons.

I hope my fellow Mick is okay.
Also, you could write a directory of some sort featuring all the hot and useful men-for-hire (no, not that kind!) in your area. I bet it would sell.
That’s a great idea! I bet we have a few hot letter carriers.
elizabeth // July 17, 2008 at 11:28 am
you make me want to go out and adopt a sick cat!
If you ever want to come up and take Micks to the vet, let me know.
apollocreed // July 17, 2008 at 11:28 am
Hope your dog is okay!
I also hope for your sake that you can subtract McConaughey’s lack of intelligence.
Dude, Micki’s a cat. You need to stop reading so many blogs.
abbersnail // July 17, 2008 at 12:41 pm
This was outstanding! Thank you for the morning chuckle!
You’re welcome!
bing // July 17, 2008 at 1:20 pm
I am still chuckling. This made my day!
And that, made my day.
Flib // July 17, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Dude, I totally laughed out loud reading this. Delightful. Now I would like to move to upstate NY for the sole purpose of visiting your vet.
Hooray for the LOL!
SisterAlyson // July 17, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I blame the new cat. She is a poor man’s Micki.
Blaming the new cat is tantamount to blaming me for getting her. So we don’t do that, mmmkay?
xsquared // July 17, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Dang. The only male vet in our cats’ practice is A) not good looking and B) thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips. BAD COMBO. But we rarely see him.
Bummer. Bad vet is worse than no vet.
Adorable Girlfriend // July 17, 2008 at 1:54 pm
AG will take some of that vet action. That is what divorce is for!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow, AG gets a pet!!
Yes! Pets for everyone!
The Modern Gal // July 17, 2008 at 3:40 pm
And the monkey gives it one banana up too, so that’s another good endorsement.
I think they also treat hula monkeys at the vet.
Jess // July 17, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Love it! I enjoy going to my doctor for similar reasons. Except he’s got a wedding ring and I’ve met his wife socially. Oh well.
Hope everything turns out okay with Micki - props to her for getting you to the hot vet!
Darn married vets.
Howling Hill // July 17, 2008 at 4:39 pm
My dentist is totally hot. I told Wolf “if ever there was a chance for me to cheat on you, it’ll be with him.” Wolf made an appointment to find out his competition.
That sounds like a doubly painful appointment.

My parent’s vet makes house calls. I could have killed them for not warning me how incredibly good looking he is. Seriously so hot it freaked me out + loves animals = perfect. Well, except for that he’s married. But it makes my cat’s weird emotional state totally worth it for the 15 minutes he’s at the house!
A regular hot guy can turn into a super hot guy just by loving animals. And I wish my vet made house calls. Micki was quite traumatized.
nancypearlwannabe // July 17, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Hey, my parent’s vet is also Australian! Weird. He calls my 25 lb. cat Vinny a “right solid old chap”. He is not impossibly hot though, more like impossibly old.
I think that use of the word “chap” is indeed more an old person thing than an Australian thing.

I second the motion made by sister Alyson. New cat = bad news. She probably has a shiv hidden somewhere between all that fur. I’ll bet Lucy is setting out glue traps for Miki when you’re not looking!!!!
You two haters should just adopt Micki and enjoy some shared custody.
Aaron // July 18, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Ah, I’m always late to the funniest posts. You know, if I had the time or inclination, I’d whip up a Photoshop combining all those elements, but I don’t have either. Please don’t think that it means I don’t care.
It’s okay, I don’t need photoshop when I’ve got the real thing, baby…
Brando // July 21, 2008 at 11:14 pm
He was to Micki what Julio was to my toilet. After the appointment, she was much friskier, and so was I.
Those are just a great couple of sentences. And I loved the visuals and the equation.
