You Might Think It's Funny, But It's Snot
Apparently God means for me to be surrounded by phlegm. Not only do I have to listen to my co-worker (see previous post) but my dog has caught Kennel Cough from the Bark Park. For those who don’t know about Kennel Cough, it means that my dog sounds like an 80 year old, three-pack a day’er with his wheezing and coughing and hacking. He gags and coughs and appears to be on the verge of puking but then doesn’t. Except that last night he did.
So. There’s the cough. And then there’s the puke.
This is my life.
The vet will prescribe medicine and beg me not to bring my dog in with his contagious cough and we will not be permitted to go to the Bark Park until he is cured, despite the fact that the park is where he caught it from to begin with.
There go my weekend plans.

Sorry for the grossness you must endure.
It's not fun, but we'll get through it.
Can you board your dog without the vaccine? Around here, you cannot even board a dog without the vaccine. It's a requirement of the kennels. (maybe of the state?)
The pox vaccine did help LM to have a much milder case, so perhaps all is not for naught.
And for boarding, I board at my vet's. If Gabe gets Kennel Cough while being boarded there, they will treat him for free. Gabe has never gotten it from being boarded.
