Dog Woes

Well, we had another happy dog-owner moment today!  We found out that our Pixie is allergic to oats, corn, lamb and rice!  Yes, I said RICE!  While most dogs thrive on the little grain - not so with our dog.  So now we may go to the local pet store and spend extra money on special food (again), or we can just prepare Pixie's food ourselves, which will probably be potatoes and chicken or potatoes and every other meat to which she is NOT allergic!  Now we are reading labels before we even throw her a "little bite" of our stuff!  "Stop, what's in that??  Oh well, between watching what Pixie is eating and watching what mom is eating, things will not be boring anyway.  All I can say is, "This new regimen better work!"  The dog pound is within walking distance!  (Just kiddin!)

  1. Hey Judy, We also have a dog that has a awful itch. We have a vet appt. this coming Thurs. for her to see what's wrong I was thinking it must be in the clover and other grass in the yard, but now reading your post maybe it's her food too. What kind of test did the vet do to find out what she was allergic to ?
