The Animal Shelter

On Oct. 24, 2013 the animal shelter came to visit us. It was fun because we got to do everything they get to do there. We learned that you have to take a dogs temperature. Something else that we learned is that some dogs have a microchip near their shoulder blade. Here are some examples of what we learned:

*We learned that if a dog uses the bathroom they scoop it up with a little spoon and take it to the lab for tests.

*We learned that mosquitos cause heartworms.

*We learned that you have to give a dog a bath every so often.

* We learned that if you can’t take care of your dog well all you have to do is give him/her to the animal shelter.

*We learned that if your dog has heartworms could kill your dog.

*We learned that all animals have to be trained &all can be instinctive.

When you grow up you should be a vetanarian, too.
