My New Cool Bed

Today I got something in the mail...

Me laying on my new cool bed

The Cool Bed III is hopefully going to keep me cool in these hot days of summer

Here is the bed with the bolsters so I can rest my head.

As you can see by the look in my face... I am not to sure about this. We will see how it goes in my room tonight. Mommy and daddy wanted to test it out on the tile floor first.

My favorite passtime...napping!

Little bits of me

My ear

One black whisker

Brindle bits on my ears

Laying down waiting for mommy and daddy to take me on a car ride

My wrinkles

My new shirt

I went on a long car ride the other day to Naha. While there we went to a pet store and I got this new shirt. It is nice and cool for the summer because it is a mesh material.

The proof is in the pudding

I love my new food and here is the proof...mommy filled half of my food bowl with the new food (which is the dark brown triangular shaped food) and the other half with my old food which is the light brown. You can see which I ate first.

Below is the video of me eating my food.

What mommy did tonight.

Mommy made her friend a cake for her shop tonight. I was at her feet just waiting for that tasty frosting to fall but mommy was really careful not to drop anything.

New Food & Medicine

As you all can see from my last post about my new toy, I am back in the cone! I starting itching again, rubbing my face all against my bed and the carpet, and licking my paws. I have a little red rash of red bumps all over my body. I had these same symptoms a few months ago and the vet put me on antibiotics and steroids thinking it was just a skin infection. I did clear up but I started itching again about a week after finishing my meds. Mommy took me back to the vet yesterday. The vet is now thinking that I have food allergies. The food I had been eating was a sensitive stomach food made with chicken. The vet put me back on antibiotics for two weeks and a steroid for 5 days. Mommy switched my food to one that isn't made with any chicken or beef.

I love my new food! I even lick my bowl when I am done eating! It is Sensitive Skin & Stomach Formula made with Salmon. If you would like to read about it here is the link: http://www.proplan.com/products/SensitiveSkinStomach_DryDog.html

This is my medicine. They package everything so cute here in Japan even for dogs!
