Doggie Dreams

Up late, early. Too many pains and pain killers to sleep.
Dakota gave a little cheer. He is sleeping on his bed, but has been dreaming, laughing it seems. May have just about caught up with that little hussies of his dreams. Sometimes he kicks as if chasing something or other but still seeming to grin and chuckle. Other times he is after a bear. He ruffs, huffs and awakens,heading for the door.
He caught Kennel Cough, Saturday when e had him groomed and smelled up real nice. Called them. Not our fault it is as common as the common. We have our kennels sprayed down with a solution three times a day. cold. Not too sure it didn't affect me. He had me rubbing and petting him through his suffering. He did hurt bad and had a fever. Monday night was absolutely horrible for me. Maybe I'm part dog or bear.

  • We take Jake to Petsmart for grooming. He gets the works. Petsmart does check shot records when you bring them in. Jake gets all shots available including rattlesnake. We've been fortunate so far.
  • Our two Scotties caught kennel cough when we had to board them ONE night. They had been vaccinated, but that doesn't prevent it. Theirs wasn't bad. . . had them on a cough suppressant for two weeks and one had to do several days of antibiotics. I called the business as well and was told that it happens. But in having dogs for 30 years, I have never had a dog get it from boarding which was usually at a vet's. Won't take them back there.
