Last spring, on two occasions, she broke out in hives and her face swelled up. Ticks caused it both times. Now, we use a Preventic collar during tick season. It seems to work well, and it beats the terrifying allergic reactions. You asked about the initials K and R in my blog. I did that for ease of typing and anonymity. But, so that you can put a name to each, K is "Kyna" (pronounced Keena) which means "one who is loved" in Gaelic. R is for Rono (pronounced so that Ro rhymes with No. Henry Rono was a graceful and fast human runner. Since R was destined to be my husband's running partner, we named him after a runner.

We don't like it either. And can you believe our mom gets mad at us when we peepee inside on a rainy day??? Princess J:

Mom thinks TD is more likely to play with it than Phantom but you never know with a sibe. TD LOVES the rain, he would sit out in it all day. He could do that the next few days if only he could get the Momster to agree. We are amazed at the cuddling that goes on there, you will never find us sleeping in any way that allows our furs to touch:) Woos, Phantom and Thunder We got Mom to order a Chase It for us.

Please give her a few moments to recover.... Okay, we're back. Fleas apparently are bad here because Wilbur got them just hanging out in the yard, even though Steve and I are on Advantix, so it wasn't our fault. Mom felt really itchy as soon as she heard that and obsessively washed everything in the house and now Wilbur is on Frontline too. So far so good. I wish my mom would do the raw thing though. That sounds pretty tasty. Kat The only thing my mom can focus on right now is the 10 hours of sleep. Please give her a few moments to recover….

I only leave out bones, tennis balls and one rope tug. When Jackal was young I couldn't leave any of his toys out. He has slowly earned the right to have those out. The only reason I leave the tennis ball out is because he ignores it unless he wants to play and then he brings it to me. I leave the tug out because they will play with it together or bring it to me to play. They are well trained. :D Oh and I'm glad the Preventic collar is working so well. :) I do the same thing with my dog’s toys. I only leave out bones, tennis balls and one rope tug.

Wall & The Thundering Herd Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:40:27 +0000 http://www.wilddingo.com/?p=4035#comment-7221 So much to comment on - First, The Herd wants it noted for the record that they have no problem walking in the rain. The Hu-Dad is the technical problem. Just saying for clarity. Though Rusty and Cheoah both can cross their legs for a very long time before having to go out to pee. Walking in the rain - no worries. Peeing in the rain - no way. Go figure. And The Herd does not have toys laying around to chew on, but more out of preventing skirmishes. Ok, fair enough, they do chew on Rusty and he does squeak when that happens, so I guess they do have one squeaky toy. So much to comment on –

If you wanted them to stay out of the rain, it would be the first place they go. If you wanted them to stay in, they would pester you until they got to go out, come heck or high water! :) What is it with puppies and rain?
