Wormies

I would love to talk about the great weekend I had. Friends came down from Philly for a nice visit. We cooked out and let the kids play. But I have to talk about the health of my dog.

I know I was able to get rid of the beast for a few weeks but then she came back. Ever since, she has been a model citizen. Every once in a while she escapes her comfortable home or the nice $1500 dog pen in the back yard. For the most part, she just hangs with the family.

So I was shocked today when the wife called me at work to tell me my beautiful doggy shit all over the kitchen floor. I told her that she must be sick since she never does that. Then she shit on the family room floor and the wife hung up on me. Being the good wife, she scooped some of the runny poo up and took it to the vet. An hour later we learn that she has worms.

How, oh how, could a dog that spends 99% of the time on my floor contract worms? I assumed it was from the times she digs under the fence and escapes to romp through the neighborhood. Or the occasion when she bolts past the kids and runs out the front door to roam the streets. But then the wife reminded me that the other day, she rescued two strays that were running loose in the street and kept them in my luxurious dog pen while waiting on animal control.

The wife does a good samaritan act and I get stuck with a $60 vet bill and liquid shit from my mutt. Awesome. That is why I beep at dogs in the road and never, ever, ever, even think of stopping to pick them up. Just shows you what being nice will get you.
