Oh, Oh

moving out
I've been having this little problem but it's starting to go away, thank goodness.  Been itching like crazy and even pulling some hair out. Mom was getting pretty worried.  It all started after we went to this new place with pretty tall grass to track.  I loved it, but that's when the itching began...Mom gave me a bath, good brushing, and a close clipping.  It didn't stop!  This was all happening at the beach so we had to come home and see Dr. Deb...it was FLEAS!  Monty didn't even have them and my folks couldn't find them or their "dirt" because it's hard to do on an all black Porti.  Dr. Deb put down some white paper and combed me while I was standing on it.  Isn't she smart!  Taught Mom something, too.  Now we are both (Monty and me, not Mom and me) on stuff  to take care of them and I'm feeling a
the find
whole lot better.  Mom is too because she had visions of allergies and all sorts of stuff...  she's like that you know.  We're both sleeping better too.

Then there's Monty who has been having digestion issues which resulted in pretty nasty stuff, if you know what I mean.  Mom says, "Is nothing sacred?"  I say, "We talk about my issues so Monty is fair game."  Anyway, he was taken off all his supplements, which didn't help, and then put on this vet prescribed kibble for sensitive stomachs.  Pretty blah!  Not nearly as good as what I get, poor boy.  I don't think he cares, you know he eats anything and just wolfs this stuff down.  So far he's improving.  Dad says  97% but we won't make a declaration for a couple of weeks then maybe he will get his fish oil back...that really helped him not shed so much and THAT is gooood.

We planted a whole bunch of stuff at our new house and everything is doing quite well but the
for Halloween
problem is we are at the beach most of the time and our zucchini gets too big to really enjoy.  Monty got some of the beans that are too fat and now Mom's afraid that he's going to start picking them himself.  I have been checking the strawberries and there have been a few more of the wild ones ready to eat so.....I ate them!  Look at these big orange things.  Mom says they are for Halloween, but I don't remember what that is.

This weekend is our Porti show and Mom isn't taking me!  I really don't think it's fair but she said she's working and taking care of judges so I would just have to sit in a crate.  If I stay home, Dad will probably take me for a nice walk and after the weekend is over we are going back to the beach for awhile.  Then she's leaving me home to take care of the boys for a WHOLE WEEK to go to the Porti National.  That will be quite a responsibility but I'm up for it.
