Random thought while getting ready

To go down to the doc for a shingles vaccination.

Do the Qanon, anti-vaxxers even vaccinate their animals? I've never considered it before but if they don't they are a danger to all of us and our companion animals.

If they don’t want to vaccinate their kids why would they worry about their pets.

Anti vax is anti vax.

But boarding facilities and day care require them.

I never go to dog parks for this and other reasons.

Had a serious outbreak of canine influenza a couple of years ago. Every local dog park closed. Folks were complaining right and left. “Where do I walk my (pick a huge dog)?

The kennel we use calls the vet every time our doxies go for grooming or play time. We have been with them for almost 10 years. Grateful for them.
