Sensitive Skin: Doggy Style

Now we all know Harley.

Best. Dog. Ever.

And I want to be the best doggy mama.

Harley is very sleek and there isn't an ounce of fat on the precious "little" dog!

He has the most sensitive skin I have ever seen.

I feel bad for him. I have tried a spoonful of olive oil in his food on a weekly basis. An egg.

He gets special baths for sensitive skin.

This week I am trying a new food. The folks where I take him to get his grooming done say it may be food related... either an allergy or just a sensitivity. So I am going to try him on a food that has no corn, soy, wheat or dyes.

They said it may take about 2 weeks for us to notice a difference and I am hoping that by getting his good oatmeal bath now that will help with the adjustment period.

But when I can reach over and pet his back and find it all wet where he has been scratching, I know he is miserable.

And I don't like my baby being miserable.

The pet folks also told me that with less filler in the food he would need less of it because he would be full longer... They even gave me a 10 dollar off coupon to try the food to see if it would help.

Oh I hope it helps. But if anyone has any suggestions, me and SuperDoggy are all ears!

Uh oh!

Someone came home from work Thursday and did a few things around the house and fell asleep without doing a Thursday post for NaBloPoMo.

 I hate that I missed a day but as punishment (ok I so shouldn't have said that!)

 I shall do two today.

 To make up for it.

 I even think I took a picture yesterday that was going to be my post. If I had been smart enough to get a picture of the doggy Wednesday when I came home from work I could have posted that.

 I can't believe I didn't get that picture. He got busted sleeping on my new bed while I was at work.

How do I know?

 Because when he came to greet me the knitted throw that Mrs. Mesa made me was caught on his dog collar. Right where the tags are.

It was flowing behind him like a superhero cape. If it had been red it just might have been.

 But I think he is doggy enough to be ok with a lavender superhero cape.

 Don't you?
