I dragged my dog Rose to the vet today. As soon as we got within 10 feet of the door, she tried to bolt. I’m bigger so I prevailed. Rose is middle-aged and recently, spongy growths have started erupting on her body, which the vet reassures me are benign and nothing to fret about. I was instructed to administer an antibiotic cream twice a day. To prevent her from licking it off, she’s now wearing an inflatable collar that looks like a cross between a safety vest and the neck pillow people wear on the plane to help them sleep. That’s my girl.
