I haven't made a habit of taking treats to the vet and they charm some
milkbones out of the vet staff anyway,

Our vet passes out stanky low-fat dog treats like candy and
then gives us a bag to take home, so I've never felt as if I
had to take treats with.

The
post-vet walk is a tradition; we've been doing that forever.

And this is the really good part about going to Cornell.
The companion animal hospital is next to the large animal
hospital, so after a visit we walk down the road and look at
the horsies and the sheepsies and the moo-cows, etc.

They hadn't
had anything to eat, it took 30 minutes to complete blood draws from Khan,
and then we had to wait for an hour to go back for the second draw, as a
result of which, the dogs didn't eat until noon. I did feel like I owed
them big time.

And then some! It sounds like your dogs were patient and
well-behaved, though.
