The Canine Corner...by Missy MacTavish

News reached my ears on Wednesday that the Dallas Cowboys won Monday night's game against Philadelphia. Why did it take so long to reach my ears? I don't know.
Maybe living in the country has something to do with it.
I want to speak with you about flu shots.
Last year the Grove Hospital had this thing in the middle of the building where dealers from the Las Vegas Flamingo Hilton came in dressed in pink vests and organized the large group of penguins that were shuffling through there to get their flu shots.
It was a mess.
Sometimes, a mess is better than nothing.
This year the hospital said they would not use the casino dealers and everybody could go to their own doctor where there would be plenty of flu vaccine.
Not so. They lied.
There is no vaccine.
So this year I'm buying stock in cough medicine as there is sure to be a run on it.
The other thing I want to speak to you about is something called the Red Hatters.
These are older age ladies who dress up in red and purple clothes and act goofy like they did when they were kids and played dress up.
My Mom is a member; in fact I think she is a head hatter or something. Anyway, she turned one of our bathrooms into a red hat bathroom and made it off limits to anyone but red hatters. She even put a sign on the door--Do Not Use This Potteee, for Red Hatters Only. I can't even drink out of the bowl. Dad has to go outside. Dad says he's going to start a club for men.
I can't wait for that.
In the meantime, be nice to your pets…Miss Missy.
