Happy Spring from the Queen Bee!

Queen Minnie
Here’s my new outfit. So far it’s been a hit with the clients.  We have been busy at work. It is full on Heartworm season. Everyone is coming in for their Spring Tune-ups. The ticks are out and the mosquitoes are not far behind! I am already due formy next Frontline and Tri Heart treatment. Usually I don’t start getting treated until May 1st. It’s just been so mild, Mom started early. I’m glad ‘cause I hate those creepy ticks and I don’t want worms living in my heart and lungs. Yuck!!!
The lilacs are blooming and the rhubarb is already coming up. It’s great to get outside and run out in the back. We live on the edge of a park and there’s a pond in back with ducks and geese. They should be having their babies soon. My big brother Loki has already been IN the pond and covered in mud! I, however, stay on the shore to keep my fur clean and my paws pretty. I don’t much care for water sports! We all have to be careful of standing or stagnant water, ‘cause it can carry disease like Giardia or Leptospirosis. I don’t know what they are, but Mom says they can make me real sick.  Happy Spring!        Minnie
