Wow - you have made one little dog very happy! Puppies and grass go together -- unfortunately puppies and mud go together also.
Remember - your little pup has to be exposed to a lot of different things so that he will develop an appropriate immune system.
It's interesting that the American Journal of Medicine came out with an article a few months ago - stating that children who came from (obsessively clean homes) suffered more illnesses that children who came from (more normal environments). They especially suffered from ear infections, colds, allergies, asthma - etc......simply because they were kept in a "too-sterile environment."
So - you can tell yourself that you are making your little pup healthier and less apt to get sick by letting him out to play in the yard -
Good for you! Carol Jean |
