This just in: I took my dog in to get a couple of vaccines today.

He didn’t say, “Hey! What in the hell do you think you are doing?”

He didn’t say this for a couple of reasons, the first being, that he is a dog. The second is that he naturally assumes that there is a reason for this and I’m the expert at what is best for his health.

I routinely take my dogs in for maintenance. I do this because I’m a good dog parent and I want them to live long and healthy lives.

However, today’s vaccine was not for this reason. Today’s vaccine was “mandated” by the kennel where he goes for play dates and sleepovers.

They say, “If you want your dog to come into our environment, he/she must have the following vaccines.”

Now, what I don’t do is say, “Hey you communist! What are you trying to do – take away my dog’s right to not wear a mask?” I don’t say this because I’m not a Republican and I also already understand quite well why they want my dog vaccinated.

I’m sure they want him to be healthy but that is not the reason.

What they want to do is ensure all of the other dogs will not get sick because my unvaccinated dog brought something into the kennel.

I understand this. You understand this.

Why don’t QAnon, Republican, Anti-vaxxers understand this.

Time to save the world.

Up, up and away…
