William George has completely taken over Gracie's old doctor kit, and he performs examinations of Snoopy several times throughout the day. I would like to report that Snoopy is in excellent health, but the truth is his nose has seen better days and is in dire need of surgical repair to be secured back onto the end of his snout. Sometimes his exams extend to fellow family members, and we must always refer to him as Dr. George during that time.
Last week when George went to the doctor he had some lengthy discussions with our longstanding pediatrician. "Dr. W----, let me ask you a question," he would start. Then he had many questions about the airport, all of the visible supplies in the exam room and questions about Dr. W's clothing. He also corrected Dr. W when he called him "George" without the proper title by saying, "My name is 'Dr. George.'"
