Rationallly, I totally agree. Having had Yorkies since 1987, I never thought twice about rabies or any other vaccines. It wasn't until my Alice (RIP) had a bad reaction to rabies vac that I even thought twice about vaccinating. It never bothered any of my other dogs. I know my fear is just emotion. We paid for Cassie's rabies vaccine and were going to bring her this morning but since we have an appointment and have to leave at 1:00, I decided we should take her tomorrow (Tuesday) morning because then I will be home all day with her. Just making sure she does not have a reaction. In the meantime, she's enjoying the 1/2 egg she's getting with her Chicken a la Veg. I hope she's "fat" enough later this week so she can get the spay too.
