One afternoon, Sue was in the backyard hanging the laundry when an old,
tired-looking dog wandered into the yard.
Sue could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But
when she walked into the house, he followed her, sauntered down the hall
and > fell asleep in a corner.
An hour later, the dog went to the door, and Sue let him out.
The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and
slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks.
Curious, Sue pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes
to my house for a nap."
The next day the dog arrives with a different note pinned to his collar:
"He lives in a home with ten children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep."
Heartworm may be transmitted to dogs by the mosquitoes that carry infectious immature worms. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on dogs carrying heartworms. The more dogs that are on heartworm preventative, the fewer mosquitoes become infected and the less likely dogs are to acquire this potentially deadly disease. Speak to your veterinarian about heartworm prevention for your dog.
"My dog is usually pleased with what I do, because she is not infected with the concept of what I "should" be doing."
