I cried. for a dog I never met. or owners I never met...

I think most of us have done that, especially when it's a dog you've
"seen" grow up, or one you know an owner is especially attached to.

Last night, grey but sassy.

She got a new woobie yesterday, and I'm going to make her homemade
french fries tonight (sans ketchup). She loves them, and they're one of
the few treats she can have.

And lastly, feet! A couple of months ago, those silky hairs between her
pads were stained deep red, from saliva. We have conquered the evil
demon foot chewing!

YAY!! What was it? What did you to do fix it?

Yay Woobies!

Happy GOT DAY Harriet!

Natural Balance Duck and potato food. I don't know if it was the
protien or the grain components previous foods that she was allergic to.
Or she may have multiple food allergies. At some point, it might be
worth tinkering, but for now, I'm being a total food fascist. She gets
her food and nothing else, except the odd plain potato treat.

The only problem is that the food makes her smell like hickory smoked
french fries. Yummy, but it makes me hungry. It's also kind of low in
calories and fat, which is a little concerning. She's eating almost 2x
what she did on other foods, and the output is about 2x as much, as
well. But those things weighed against the fact that she's not licking
her feet? No contest. I had resigned myself to the possibility that
she was just a nut case and was licking from OCD. Apparently she's not
as crazy as I thought!

Yay Woobies!

Happy GOT DAY Harriet!

Thank you! Her biggest present by far was not having to wear the Cone
of Shame today. She *hates* that thing, and I can't say that I blame
her.

I would have thought she was out of it by now.

I also like the bite not collars REALLY well. Expensive, but makes for a
lot happier dog. They also have those inflateable pillow donut collars too.
Happier dogs is what it's all about.

Oh goodness, has it been long?

A very happy got day to Ms. Brown. May she have many more.

She was. As soon as the stitches came out, she was out of the cone. I
put her back in it last Monday, because she'd started chewing her feet
again. That was due to a fungal infection, which is now under control.
She hasn't touched her feet since I took the cone off on Thursday.

She also has a yeast infection in her ears. I'm betting it's because
she's on antibiotics. She's hopefully got just one more week of them
left, at which point, the ear infection should quickly clear up.

Inflatable wouldn't work, since she's scratching her ears a bit. I
couldn't find a bite-not collar locally, and am leery of trying to buy
one online, since I can't properly size it. Also, expensive! And since
I've already got a cone and it was only for a few days, I decided to use
what I had.

The things you two have taught each other have been worth every minute. And
the laughs you have given each other, worth every second.

Happy Got Day Harriet, you're doin' it right!
