No worries, Freedom - I am allergic to carrots, so Miss Hoppy gets to eat all the carrots I buy all herself.
I took her out for some fresh air today after her (hated) antibiotics, and two of the kids next door were just getting home, and Asia and Windsor came running over to pat her, and brought the mom and baby who were with them over. Asia said the baby "is just a year old," and she wasn't sure about petting Miss Hoppy, though Asia and Windsor were showing her - and her mommy - how, so I then picked Miss Hoppy up level with baby and her mom ran her hand along Miss Hoppy's back and she was delighted. So Asia and Windsor were very happy and Miss Hoppy liked being petted, and baby even waved bye-bye to us when we parted company!
Being petted by the children is MUCH more fun than taking her medicine! And my arm was mostly covering her "naked" spot, so she didn't mind at all.

Oh my, forgive me, Karen, I am so sorry - I had no idea Miss Hoppy was ill till you mentioned it on the phone! (I keep everything but "dog" and "general" on a short banner so I missed your posts entirely) But I'm very happy to hear she has responded well to her treatments. When Sherman was ill, our vet suggested seeing specialists at Tufts, and had he been less ill and treatable, we may have done that. Good to know Miss Hoppy approves of them.
Please pass along a little hug to her from me, and here's a BIG ((((HUG))) for you too!
