Patton asleep 

Patton

My dog's name is Patton. He loves being outside and allowed to run loose. We live in town at an apartment, so there is no place to just let him go. This weekend my parents had a big get together for Memorial Day. They have 26 acres, so we thought perfect place to let our dog run. My parents land had ticks everywhere!!! They haven't put the granules out to control them, so they are all over the place. We bring Patton home after a fun day of running wild, and start searching for ticks. We finally got them off yesterday. We sedated him with two benedryl, so he would let us look between his toes. He had at least 50 just between his toes. It was awful.

The funny thing about all of this is Patton on benedryl. He was out. He hasn't got off the couch since yesterday about 6pm except when I made him get up to go use the bathroom. He's hilarious. He just lays there. If you walk in the room, he'll open his eyes to look at you, and then he's right back to sleep. I think two benedryl was a little much for him, but he's such a big dog. He ways 80 pounds, so how were we to know. It was Ty's idea to make our dog a druggie, but I was the one who actually put the drugs in his mouth.
