just got back from the cemetery (where I run my dogs sometimes.. there is a couple acre lake that Josy loves to do “stick” in... today she also had a heavy duty bath in it.. using special mixture.

she is plagued with what I am guessing is an allergy to fleas.. parts of her poor body are raw from scratching. I began giving her half an antihistamine once a day. I may increase it to 2 times. Toby isn’t affected at all.

I use the expensive flea products from vet.. do garlic.. even when we are out on river.. there can be a lot of big deer flies. dont bother me, John or the other three dogs.. just Josy. She must have a more delicate resistance,.. ???

Oh, your poor Josy! How awful to be tormented by flea bites. I hope that you will find something that helps her. Some dogs just seem to be more effected by fleas and bites and skin problems than others. Poor thing. :-(

Have a nice evening, Dolly. I am bidding on a couple things on eBay and have been dividing my time between watching the auctions I am winning and monitoring my pings. One of the items is a beautiful Waterford crystal clock that I have a perfect place for in my guest room. If no one else bids on it, I will get it for a ridiculous price of 14.99! I am keeping my fingers crossed. :-)
