Nettles are not a pup’s friend

You remember Finn, this cute little pup.

He started out so tiny and cute,

and now, he’s big and cute, but still ALL puppy.

He was in his glory last night, playing in the backyard, catching his floppy flier and running through the woods.

Good Dog Fun, right?

Except he must’ve tangled with some unfriendly nettles, because his poor little belly was covered with a rash when we came in.  I met those nettles a few years ago myself, and I can assure you that I will never pull weeds back there in short sleeves again.

So I commiserated, I soothed, and I kept an eye on him.  I sure hope this doesn’t end with the cone of shame!
