A Dog Catcher
s most of you know, our family also consists of two canines. There’s our older companion, Buddy, and our rescue dog, Wilson. We got Buddy as a com-
panion for my mom not too long after he was born. In 2017 when my mom passed, we rescued Wilson to keep Buddy company as his little brother. It was recently Buddy’s 10th birthday. Wilson is about half Buddy’s age.
Buddy seems to have aged fairly well, although recent- ly we noticed he started developing symptoms of diabetes. Naturally concerned, I took him to his doctor to confirm our internet diagnosis. It was confirmed that my little boy is in the early stages of diabetes. What that meant was we would have to aggressively treat it, watch his diet and water intake, and continue his exercise.
That also meant that we would have to administer a twice-daily injection of insulin. Besides me, both my wife and daughter mastered giving him the relatively painless in- jections. We would have to monitor his progress and take him to get checked once a week until we get it fully under control.
We have it all worked out. Every Saturday, while my daughter and wife go to teach and supervise at their hula hālau, I run Buddy to the vet. So far, so good! During a recent visit, the doctor wanted me to bring a urine sample of Buddy’s to his next appointment. They handed me a tiny urine cup and a thing that looked like a mini turkey baster. No instructions. I have my own issues giving a urine sample, let alone getting one for a dog. How I was supposed to get him to urinate in that shot glass-sized cup was beyond me. And the baster? Don’t even go there!
Plus, Buddy has a shy bladder if you know what I mean, so this was going to be super difficult. The sample was to be collected no more than four hours before his appointment — no pressure. So, the morning of, I jumped out of bed, grabbed the cup and followed Buddy until he had the urge. He started to go on a pad I put out, so I took the cover off the cup and attempted to catch the sample.
Needless to say, my hands were covered in “shi-shi” and Wilson was all over me trying to protect his big brother. I told my wife to quickly “bag” my hands with Ziploc bags in an attempt to preserve some of the liquid.
She exclaimed, “Ron, what the heck are you doing? I al- ready got the sample.” Sure enough, she held up a dispos- able plastic container tray of Buddy’s urine. She then started laughing and I asked what was so funny. My wife said she was reminded of the first time I changed our son’s diaper.
The difference being, that time my face got wet.
