Empathizing the Wally Way

Everyone knows my feelings about Sa-man-tha, my short-legged, zaftig little firebrand over with the Brat Pack. Now, they've had a spate of health problems at their house, leading to them, in all likelihood, having part ownership of their vet clinic. I decided to show my solidarity with them by developing my own health issue necessitating a visit to my resident vet! I considered:

1) Having a pancreas problem like my love Sam, but what if she needs mine?
2) Developing heartworms like ole Bear. But Samantha has joint ownership of my heart and so I can't put it out of commission.
3) (Probably) tangling with wildlife (as I am wont to do) like Tucker and needing stitches. But my face is my moneymaker.
4) Having seizures like poor Thrawn but one of my apes has those and it freaks my ma ape out a little too much.

So I have settled on

5) Ear infection like Dot!

Ok, it doesn't look so bad (especially with some LOUSY photography) but I sure am being a drama queen about it! Maybe I will see Sa-man-tha at the vet!
