I just got back from my vet's, where Rose-Red got her rabies shot. I had her wrapped in a towel and wouldn't let her walk and she did NOT like that. But I was not taking ANY chances on a 12 week old puppy picking up germs on the floor--the techs and vets all laughed at me, but I could care less: then they told me that there had already been a case of the NEW FLU diagnosed there 2 days ago. Well, we got the shot and beat it out of there as fast as we could. When we got home, I rubbed her down with a diluted form of clorox and water. Crazy? Yeah, crazy for the health of my dogs!
