One beached pup 05/19/11
One of Jackson’s new favorite playgrounds is the beach. Whether it’s at Stinson Beach (as pictured above) or closer to home at Crissy Field, he loves to run with the other pups, chase receding waves, roll around in the sand, and generally enjoy the simple life.
Can’t say that I blame him, either.
Unfortunately, a routine visit to the vet today revealed the downside of letting your pup enjoy the beach. He was diagnosed with an ear infection caused by too much sand in his ears.
After some writhing on the inspection table to flush out his ears, we were sent home with some meds and instructions: Flush your pups ears at least twice a month. Got it.
Now back at home, Jackson looks pretty happy sprawled out on his side sleeping with his ear on the pillow. Doubtless this beached pup is dreaming about his times at his favorite spots where he chases the waves and explores beached debris.
