Medicine

Good news. I don't have allurgeez. Bad news. I have some kind of mites. The doctor gave me an awful tasting medicine. Mom and Dad try sneaky ways to get me to take it. Peanut butter is their favorite weapon. I love peanut butter and if they want to stick in those little hard things they call pills, that's okay. But when they try that icky stuff they squirt in my mouth - no way. I'm smart enough to not fall for the peanut butter trick then. Today when Mom got my medicine out, I ran into my house. Can you believe that Dad just got down on the floor and talked to me until I felt sorry for him and came back out? Then Mom came over and squirted that stuff in my mouth. Last time I feel sorry for Dad. They'll have to think of a better trick tomorrow 'cause I'm on to their games.

My doctor and me

I think I'm in a hospital. I don't know for sure but I'm staying with my doctor. My allergies keep getting worse and I have new medicine. My doctor checks on me every day. Everything's good here but the shots. Uggghhh!

Have I told you I love going to my doctor and my groomer? They are in the same place and everyone loves me. I just try to be friendly with everyone I meet 'cause I LOVE people.

I don't know when Mom and Dad will come back for me but I'll be ready to go home. I miss my sister, Peanut, even if she doesn't like to play with me.

To be honest, I like it wherever I am - as long as I'm with people who love me.

It pays to be a handsome guy but it's my charm that makes people love me.

Life is good, isn't it?

Doctor today

I have an inflamed trachea - whatever that is. All I know is that I cough a lot and get really gaggy. Not pleasant. The shot and pills aren't that great either, but maybe they'll help.

I have this really cool doctor who comes to my house in a big white truck. It says Dr Missy on it. She gives me treats!

I hope none of my dog friends get this thing - Mom calls it a "bug" but I like to eat bugs and this isn't the same.

Fleas, ugh!

Okay, my fellow furry friends, be honest with me. Do you have fleas? What does your family do to protect you from those nasty, irritating, biting, worthless things?

My mom and dad put some stuff on my neck once a month. I don't like it but I guess it works 'cause I don't remember them ever finding any fleas on me. Do fleas smell bad or just make you itch?

Anyway, Mom read an article about fleas and I thought I should share it with you. If you have trouble with fleas, get your family to read it. We need to stick together and help each other.
