Watching the Dog

Well my daughter and son in-law are in Hawaii visiting my son & daughter in-law and I'm home watching their dog Moose. I met my son in-laws mother over at my daughter and son in-laws house. She was petting Moose when she sees bright red spots on his belly. GREAT I thought --- this dog is either going to die while I am watching him or I am going to have a HUGE vet bill. I throw Moose in the car and drive to his Vet. I'm in the parking lot looking at the Vet sign and it has the phone number so I call from the parking lot so I would not get charged for an office visit. I told the receptionist what the rash looked like and she said to hold on. Five minutes goes by and no answer. So I call back and someone else answers and she said " hold on, I will get the person you were speaking with". Ok, so another 5 minutes goes by and I hang up again. Moose is not making a sound -- I get out and open the little crate he is in and he was sleeping. Well I don't know if it's from all the fresh air ( he was outside all day with me ) or he's sick. I called back again and they said not to worry -- they are just bug bites -- get him some cortisone cream and put it on them. Don't bring him in unless the start to ooze. Ooze? Please don't ooze. Well I go to CVS and buy the cream. I bring Moose in the house lay him on his back --- Where the hell did the red spots go? I need some wine.
