He went where?

Now.. I've known for a long time that if your dog rubs on poison ivy, the oils can rub off on you.
But I've never seen a dog actually get poison ivy!
I noticed a little bump on BlackJack's belly on Friday, and thought maybe some bugbite was irritating him. Then yesterday morning, we found them all over his cute little belly, and realized what it was.
We're off the vet momentarily to get a cortisone shot, and probably some more Benadryl for the itching.
Poor guy; I guess that's the disadvantage of those short little legs.
