I take Bogart to doctors, transplant clinics, when I do blood tests, when I go to the dentist, eye docs, work in seniors extended care centre, in the ultasound room, etc. Generally he is very good and will lay where I ask him to or otherwise he will stand and look on seemingly concerned about what the nasty person is doing to me. (especially curious at the dentist :). I try to explain to him if he doesn't let me brush his teeth he'll end up having to get his teeth cleaned like this.

Thanks Gary.

The staff at the place where he donates plasma says that Gia will be a 
distraction to the workers and they are concerned because there are so 
many beds so close together.  We both believe that  Gia would not be 
abgle to fit in the space with room for the staff to maneuver.
