I know we all worry about our puppy's but I have a tiny little niece who at the age of 13 months had to go through the whole rabies thing. It was horrible for her and her family as they had lost her big sister the year before at the age of 4 to a horse falling on her so yes I will be getting Laddy his shot and yes I will worry but I could not bare to watch another little one go through all that.
