Been Awhile

I have been slacking with Rubys blog .. she was fine until June, then the hives and itching got worse. her chest area is very bad, and she is scratching her head as well.. nothing is working, i just put creme on her for the itchiness and it helps. I have determined she is allergic to grass, as when she rolls in it she breaks out in hives shortly after. Even though her allergy test came back negative for grass, the hives show that she is allergic... housebreaking is still an issue, and so is her fear issues which are random when it comes to people.. some folks she is fine with,others she is afraid of.

right now she is at camp at a friends house, as i thought that her issues were all me, and i wanted a fresh set of eyes to see how she is and to see if it was me or her.... so far, some of her issues she has here are showing in my friends house.. I go get her this coming weekend, then we have an appointment with a behaviorist who wants to try some drugs on her to see if it will help.. nothing serious, just some medicines to see if it will help her out to level out.. none of them are dangerous, just simple meds to try to balance her out to see if that works..

she is also been training in weight pulling, and actually does pretty well with it..

its been awefully quiet here without her, rufus misses her, jesse is reveling in the calmness lol...

she is now on Pro Plan Sensitive Skin/Stomach kibble, as the high end kibbles were not working out. some dogs just cant tolerate high end kibble..

so thats about it for now.
