it was good to see mister after the free clinic. i brought his apple and he rolled in the mud. the doc said dogs can get tinea and i could have got it from mister. i'm going to be really careful now with my hands and feet. dogs are so into the ground they can pick up all kinds of things. my skin thing may be a different skin thing from his, or we may have a shared skin thing. in a way it feels less alien if i got it from him, and his feels less alien too. i have to give his skin a bath this sunday, and i guess i'll have to wear gloves, and i won't feel his skin.
