Jack Macmillan has a big and genial Lab named Alex, and over the years, he has developed his own secret potion for cleaning out a Lab’s ears, preventing ear infections that occur frequently in some Labs. My daughter’s dog Pearl get s a lot of ear infections in New York City, and they usually cost well over $200 an episode. Jack saw Pearl and I told him she got a lot of ear infections and he told me about his own formula, which has been so effective a vet told him never to tell anybody about it, as it would cost him a lot of money.

Since Jack started using his potion, his dog Alex has not had an ear infection. Jack volunteered to come over and work on Pearl’s ears. Pearl, a champion show dog, is used to being worked out and she seemed to love the attention, she sat still for Jack, who pulled out a hay bale, sat on it, pulled out his plastic bag and went to work.

The formula is a mix of Boric acid, glycerine and alcohol and Jack cleaned Pearl’s ears and then Lenore’s. He took a lot of junk out of both of them, and I think he just saved Emma a few hundred dollars, especially after this muggy and buggy summer.

Jack is a seasoned country guy, I know he knows a lot about the outdoors, trucks, roads and machines, I was surprised he has his own personal mission to help out the ears of Labs.  it was nice to hear him sweet talking Pearl and Lenore, Jack is a mush at heart. Jack says he will bring the potion this Saturday  when Emma comes to pick up Pearl.
