Heartworm

Mum took me to see the vet today as I had to be weighed again. Eight kilos! I must have big bones.

Now that I'm older, Dad thought he should explain why I need to have a monthly dose of anti-heart worm fluid placed on the back of my neck. It seems that mosquitoes can bring these worms and they attack the heart. There's no way back as the picture shows. It makes me shudder just to think of it.

He said that he'd leave the 'birds and bees' lecture to Mum..............I wonder where they go!
