I'm all better

So, when mommy and daddy first got me from the shelter in July, mommy says I was skin and bones. When she took me to the vet, the doggy doc informed her I had three different kinds of worms! Eww - Gross! I was instantly put on medication (so was Capone, just to be on the safe side). Mom and Dad ended up treating us for worms a second time, just to be sure that all of the worm remnants were gone (even though Capone most likely didn't even have worms). Well, three months later, I am worm free!!!! and have put on a few pounds! They think I had worms for a long time. I never knew I could feel this good! I feel like I am reliving my childhood. I know worms can be a scary thing - my mom still cringes whenever someone brings it up - but I am living proof that any dog can get through it! It's so great to be healthy. My advice to all of the youngins out there - get yourself tested occasionally! Parasites are bad news! Good thing my parents knew what they were getting themselves into when they adopted me from the shelter. I just feel bad for all of my old friends at Orphans of the Storm.... I mean, not only do they not have real homes (with humans), but they don't even know what kinds of things are living inside of them. I know how lucky I am and I make sure to give mom and dad kisses everyday! Back to my point - Be sure to bring that stool sample into the vet! haha - who knew talking about poop could be so important!
