Jake, Splat and Millhouse

Today was a wonderful Sunday. It was cool most of the day. Kane and I went on one big walk without any problems compared to last Sunday.

Firstly we went to visit Jake. It was also a lot of fun. Jake was really happy to see Kane and spent a lot of time smelling Kane. I think Jake wanted to remember how a doggy scent smelled as he had a bath earlier today.

We then walked to the markets to the pet store. We said hello to Splat the resident cat. Splat is quite used to Kane now.



We left with worming treatment, and a smoked pig snout.

From the markets we walked the long way home via the woods and dropped by Millhouse's place. He was there with Gretel, but the people weren't. Millhouse was very excited to see Kane through their gate.

Then we continued home along the woods. Along the way, we noticed trees laden with apricots, plums, apples, pears and figs. The next few months are going to be good as we will be able to pick ripe fruit overhanging outside of people's yards. Must bring a bag on those walks.

Kane received his worming treatment with dinner tonight. First with a Drontal chewable, then the ProHeart tablet for large dogs (136 mcg Moxidectin) in his dinner.

Unfortunately, I was ignorant about canine worming treatment and thought it was a once a year administration by vets. Thankfully, heartworm is very rare in Canberra and Kane has not picked up intestinal worms so far from socialising with other dogs (I check his poo when they drop).
