Hi all, I’ve been completely swamped this week and this weekend and although I am loving it here, the amount of reading that goes into getting an education degree is immense and I physically cannot read anything else for the night, so I decided that I would write.

A few months ago, I made a post about getting a dog. In that post, I also discussed how Poppy had contracted heartworm in the kennel she was at in Alabama.

Yesterday my mom brought Poppy to the vet to get her blood drawn to see if she was heartworm negative and we could slowly start increasing her activity, or if she was heartworm positive and we had another month or so of treatment.

This afternoon, I received the best news possible! Poppy is HEARTWORM NEGATIVE!!! I started crying in my dorm because I had so many emotions. I wish I were home to give her a big hug and a peanut butter bone, but I’m sure my family is taking good care of her.

Soon she will be back at full energy (I am terrified to see what that is) and she will be in extreme training to work on her constant barking and leash pulling. Counting down the days until I get to see her again

Until next time

Alicia
