Heartworm Positive - being treated

Marty has a dilemma.  He can’t decide which is his favorite thing to do; Ride in the car, or nap with his mom. He’s decided that napping in the car while mom drives him to Starbucks for a pupacino is the perfect compromise. Marty is a very sweet little boy. He loves to cuddle, especially with his 75 pound pit bull foster brother! They are inseparable. Not very vocal, he’s just chill!  His foster mom has 3 other dogs in the house, all between 75 and 90 pounds. Marty, who is 8 pounds, thinks he outweighs all the big dogs. He’s a perfect gentleman. He is house trained and crate trained. He’s happy just being with you and giving you kisses!  Marty is heartworm positive, which is very treatable. Marty has started his heartworm treatment meds. I don’t think anyone told Marty he actually has heartworms, because you would never know by looking at him.  This sweet guy is so much fun,  He follows his foster mom every where she goes, yep! Even to the bathroom
