But what is it about dogs and allergies? Our dog (who is also named Sophie) has them. Even the tiniest morsel of a taboo food (read "everything") will have her attempting to tear her paws off later. Poor thing. But of course she'll break down unbelieveable barriers to eat said food. Sigh. ~A :-) ____________________________________ <em>Yeah, our Soph is pretty committed to sugar. Which, she can't have! She loves cheesecake--bad dog. ~W</em> What a cute dog! But what is it about dogs and allergies? Our dog (who is also named Sophie) has them.

We just say our vet's name and the girls start hopping with joy (kinda like a low-rider bouncing). When we travel I pack the along the guilt, even though I KNOW they are having the time of their lives. Anyhoo... we mark everything, even their blankies and toys, and especially their food (Libby has her special food and allergy meds too). Totally not obsessive and I know the staff appreciates it. Your Sophie is a lucky dog to have such a caring momma! ____________________________________ <em>Oh, so you know the drill. I just hate leaving her and thinking a well-intentioned soul is actually poisoning her. However, it all seemed to work out.

Let me tell ya, I work at a vet where we also do boarding and we LONG for owners to write out everything as specifically as you did! SO much better than owners who dump their pet's rx's out on the counter and say "she gets the yellow one twice a day, but she hasn't had it since last week"....sigh. That kennel sounds fabulous! Where is it located? ____________________________________ <em>It's in Hammond, Or. And they seem to be really good at what they do. I never thought about the slacker owners, in part, because I can't imagine doing that! ~W</em> What a sweet girl!

I used to dress Keesha and paint her nails hot pink. TJ would get so mad because "you don't paint a pit bull's nails pink!". Well, you do if she's a pretty princess! And I think you're just being a responsible mom by labeling everything. Who wants to come home from vaca to take your baby to the vet??!! URGH. ____________________________________ <em>Oh my, what an image: a pit-bull with pink nail polish! ~W</em> Ya know, if you have a pet and can’t spoil it, what’s the point?
