Can’t believe I caught that yawn!

[pamgarner]

you must have told her something funny,she is laughing

[Amore55]

Oh, she is so darling! I could just cuddle her! I cannot believe your temps dropped so much, we are roasting. Thanks for the post. Much love, Kelly xx

[agapepilgrim in reply to Amore55]

Yep! Had to get an extra blanket out! Good staying in bed weather. If I could just get Annie to stop scratching.

[agapepilgrim in reply to Amore55]

Poor thing doesn’t like to cuddle. She must have had a lot of abuse.

[leking1]

What a sweetheart! That is a big grin!

[agapepilgrim in reply to leking1]

She was actually yawning! She is so tired from scratching all the time. I’ve tried everything.

A "doggie smile" is the best! She is beautiful...😁

[mrsmike9]

It looks like she's laughing at us!!!

[agapepilgrim in reply to mrsmike9]

That’s what I thought!🤣

[jimeka]

Caught in the act! Good shot. Do you think that she maybe allergic to the wool in the sweater she is wearing, or maybe she is too hot. Dogs have their own heating system. 🤗

Well, that photo was taking a few months ago and the sweater is polyester. Only wears when house is below 70. This week is above 70, still scratching. Started her on CBD treats. I try everything😀she is scratching less. Massaging her once a day with mixture of grape seed oil, vit e oil, Anti itch spray and few drops of lavender oil seems to help. Still have medicated shampoo vet gave her 5 months ago to use once a month, using it alternately with other shampoos. Still think it’s from lying in grass. That’s when it started. Keeping her inside now. Thanks for help. Made her some cotton pjs to keep her from scratching her skin too much.

Razor is allergic to grass, particularly when the lawn has just been cut. He licks his paws sometimes until they bleed. Will pray for Annie, she is so cute and adorable, she doesn’t deserve it. 🤗 🙏

[agapepilgrim in reply to jimeka]

When she does escape out the door I was her paws and stomach when she comes inside. I switched her med from Claritin to Zyrtec. I’m very allergic to grass mild and dust mites. In the summer, Luke today, I was outside for 5 min deadheading flowers and got bit 5x. I forget to spray myself. Just gonna stay inside. June- August and keep Annie in also. I got her in Oct. previous owners had her own Zyrtec 2x a day and only outside to do her job. When I got her she loved running high speed in wide open spaces and vet took her off Zyrtec and put her on medicated shampoo. But I think she must have summer allergies like me to Bluegrass mold when frank starts mowing. I give her one more week and it will be a month and then if it still bad to the vet we go for prescriptions again. Guess I was blessed with Mandi. She never got sick until my MS flared up really bad and she had nervous breakdown which shut down her kidneys and adrenals.

[jimeka in reply to agapepilgrim]

You are obviously doing the best you can for her, and you are giving her lots of love and prayer. 🤗🙏

[jimeka in reply to agapepilgrim]

Have you tried giving her Benedryl for the allergies, also if it is like a dermatitis, then oatmeal and bicarbonate of soda baths? 🤗

[agapepilgrim in reply to jimeka]

Yes, she is on Zyrtec in am and Benadryl in pm. And prescription shampoo one week and oatmeal shampoo next week with hypoallergenic every other time, and soaking in soda baths, with a few drops of lavender oil and olive oil. And massage every day with anti allergy oils and brush/comb every other day. She falls asleep when I massage her belly. She also has a luxating patella causing pain I give her fish oil and msm, etc for and massage. Like I said before, she almost bad as shape as I am. With the Benadryl and CBD treats she conks outvaround midnight which let’s me relax, like now.
