Heart to Heart

Meet my new friend Brando....he was rescued by his dad a few weeks ago.  It seems you can find dogs in the classified section of EBay.  Brando was being used for breeding purposes and spent his whole life being used.  Once done, he was tossed away.....that was until his new dad came along....

That's one of his new dads.....his name is Jay.  Jay has taken in a lot of new pugs (and a St. Bernard) who needed rescuing...but none as special as Brando.

Turns out that Brando brought a few friends with him....no not pug friends...but whip worms, hook worms, and why I'm writing this blog today....the ever dreaded HEART WORM!!!

Not familiar with heart worm?  It's a terrible parasite that works it's way into your heart and literally grows around the heart, until it reaches maturity and eventually destroys your heart.  It's passed along in infected mosquitoes, and if left untreated it's fatal...as in the Rainbow Bridge.  Maybe your 'rents stick some really gross stuff on your neck once a month, or you eat a yummy tablet....that's making sure you don't get these worms on your heart.  Make sure your 'rents give you your medicine on time, every month.  Mom even has an email reminder sent to her (she's a bit scatter brained!)

This is Brando safe in his new home with one of his pug sisters Charlie.  He finally has a forever home that will take care of him and make sure he gets better.  So please send your positive juju for my friend Brando and his heart.  He has a long road to recovery, but once he's all better, the only thing invading his heart....will be his dads love.
