Bija contemplates...

After such a beautiful day to bring in summer, the dogs of willowdale awoke to cloudy skies and a bit of rain. The clouds hung low and heavy in the sky, and all the dogs hurried to accomplish their morning objectives and get inside quickly.

Bija's brow remained furrowed, despite all the stimulating olfactory distractions on her walk. It wasn't the inclement weather, though. Rather, she was thinking about the interview she'd heard with Dr. Ronald Schultz of the U-Wisconsin (Madison) School of Veterinary Science questioning the frequency of vaccinations for dogs (click to read and view the interview). Dogs need to be vaccinated - that's for certain - but how long are the vaccinations active in their bodies? Perhaps, Bija thought, this means I won't have to visit the vet quite as often!
