It was finally time to take Shadow to the vet again. He had somehow managed to lose his county tag and his rabies tag, too. Flea season is upon us and and I didn't want him to suffer like last year. I had tried all sorts of potions and notions on the dog but none seemed effective. The lady at the vet recommended "Comfortus" which is a huge horse pill. Just after dinner, per the instructions on the box, I induced my dog to swallow a pill the size of a quarter. He resisted a little at first; nobody likes anything jammed down their throat. But the dog is trusting and knows everything I do is good for him. He swallowed it and drank a healthy gulp of water to wash it down.
The directions said that the medicine would start taking effect within thirty minutes and would kill fleas and their eggs for a month. Tomorrow, we'll have the pest control folks come by and kill the ones in the house. Happy dog and happy humans!
Then I added the new tags to his collection on his collar. There is the bright blue one that is his rabies tag. Next is a silver tag that is his county registration and finally is a dog bone shaped tag that has his name, city and his cell phone number. He doesn't make that many phone calls but just in case he forgets his number, he can look it up and call me when ever he needs to. Good Dog!
