A Clean Bill of Health

**Warning: If you're at all squeamish, you might just want to stop at the headline.**

Do you remember when I mentioned back last fall that the pup had apparently come to us with worms? Let's see, there were tape, whip, round, and... last but certainly not least... pin worms.

We treated the first ones pretty successfully and pretty quickly. But those little pin worms... well... they resulted in their own special kinds of treatments.

We got to add powdered meds for those into her food 3 times the first week, 3 times 3 weeks later, and - again - 3 times 3 months later. Then, after waiting 2 more weeks, we had to take another "fecal sample" to the vet for testing.

Well, I am happy to say that, after almost 5 months of treating her for all of those fun variants of the intestinal parasite family, we were informed just this afternoon that she has clean poop.

Ah, how the world view changes when you have a pet in the house. I'm sure it's a bit like this when you have a kid. Although I suspect that kids are messier.
