THE CARE OF A TERRIER 45 



keep a terrier in almost perfect show form all 

 the time and the stimulation of the skin will be 

 found to act as a regular tonic. 



Housed in clean, draftless kennels; given good 

 food with lots of exercise, and with some little at- 

 tention bestowed on his toilet, a terrier is sure 

 to be healthy and happy. Prevention is pro- 

 verbially better than cure, and the little work of 

 keeping a terrier well is nothing compared to the 

 care of a sick dog. Dogs do not make very pleas- 

 ant patients, and there is the added difficulty in 

 finding out just what really ails them, for even 

 the most intelligent of our animals cannot tell us 

 where his aches are and how a dose of certain 

 medicine affects him.
