There are some actions that makes a person stop, look, and gain an overwhelming sense of comfort. A recent visit to the veterinarians office assured me how loyal Mr. Party is to his family.
Due to life in general, in 2 years Mr. Party and the Nanny had always had separate veterinary appointments. But this year, it worked out to where we were able to take both of them in at the same time. The vet doesn't phase Mr. Party at all, he's just happy to meet new people and he likes that the doctor gives him attention.
The Nanny is a different story. She is one of those dogs that you see being drug across the floor because she does NOT want the attention from the doctor.
Once we coax the Nanny into the examination room, we talk to her and pet her to try to convince her that she is safe. Mr Party continues to wag his tail and dish out kisses, not only to his humans, but he kept giving the Nanny a couple licks on her muzzle.
This action is out of the ordinary for Mr. Party, he constantly kisses his humans, but rarely kisses his furry siblings.
The doctor entered the room and Mr. Party was very excited to have a new human to praise him. After he had his little exam the doctor turned her attention to the Nanny. The Nanny has been to the doctor much more often than Mr. Party and lowered her head in an Eeyore fashion "not you again" is what she seemed to be thinking.
At this moment, Mr. Party rushed to the Nanny's side and stepped in between her and the doctor. He gave the Nanny comforting kisses on the muzzle and inquisitively looked at the doctor as if to say "why are you making my sister uncomfortable?"
It was comforting to see Mr. Party be so brave and protective of his older sister, as a dog will return the love and affection given to him in loyalty and devotion.
