Fun Stuff > CHATTER
We love our pets!

My irresponsible sister has left her three cats with me and my mom. It's been kind of nuts having them here, but they make me feel better after a crappy day at work. They're very sweet cats, but they have their weird habits.

I love how cats all have little quirks - my favourite of my three cats (I know I shouldn't have a favourite but she's only the favourite by a tiny margin) sometimes is washing herself and if she is startled by a sudden noise, her little pink tongue stays sticking out while she looks round for danger. SO CUTE.
Zingoleb:
I had a kitty who would climb onto my desk and stare at me, and I would always turn it into a staring contest (and I would always lose).
Miss my Boo.

Apparently my dog has doggy allergies, and the people before us never bothered to find out what to, so now we get to do it. He's been scratching his ears and cut his head, so the vet had to shave the area around the scabs. *snerk*
Unfortunately they also trimmed his nails and left the roughest sharpest most busted up nails you can imagine, so last night he ripped himself up again. *le sigh* Has anyone ever done the whole doggy dermatologist or allergy blood test thing?

We never did, we were able to find Max's allergy by trial and error - it was food dye. Kibbles and bits left him scratching for two weeks! It was pretty consistent, and he never had problems when we eliminated artificial coloring from his diet. Apparantly it's a pretty common allergy in several breeds. We had to buy dye-free benadryl for him!
Oh, one other thing that happened a few years ago, Max seemed to be having an allergic reaction, and it turned out that a nearby lawn he loved to roll on during walks was being treated with herbicides. Keeping him off that grass cleared his condition almost imediately.
Good luck. A dog's exposure to allergens is pretty limited, they lead a fairly simple life. You may be able to figure it out on your own. In the meantime, file his nails!
