Today was a pretty good day. I got a flyer recently at Tractor Supply, showing that they offer a vaccination clinic on Sundays. I guess I need to provide a little backstory...
Ideally, I'd add a "Read More" link here that you could click on if you wanted to read some of my personal history, then follow that with the rest of the story NOT hiding behind "Read More", but I can't figure out how to do that. So if you want the whole story, scroll past the photos to "Read More". If you want the short version, you don't have to click on anything.
I knew the people he'd been with had kept up with his shots and heartworm, but I didn't know when he'd be due again so I decided to handle everything today. He was such a good boy! The temperatures have been in the teens, so I improvised a sweatshirt for him to wear to stay warm. (I've tried numerous tops made for dogs, but Dexter's chest has been too big for any of them. If anyone has a good recommendation, I would be delighted to hear.)
I spoke with the vet, and he also recommended a Lyme disease vaccination for Dex, so I got him that as well. The vet said they were less common in the south, though he'd seen it as far south as Warner Robins, GA, but it got more prevalent the farther north one goes... and I suspect we will head north for more of our adventures than south.
As reward for being so good, and because I was itching to get outside for a bit, after being such a recluse, we went to the mini-trail that's nearby.
