Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Who'da thunk it?  Apparently, a simple change in flavor of dog food (same brand) and a new dog treat may be what caused Ozzie to go nuts and scratch and chew himself raw.  It's the only factors that can be pointed to...nothing else has changed, even the dry weather we've combated w/ a humidifier...
 
So now, we're debreeding (nasty business that is) in an aveeno bath each day, taking benedryl (who knew you can give your dog the same meds), rubbing him down w/ hydrocortisone cream and we're switching him back to the old flavors...
 
For only 7 lbs, he sure causes big headaches...LOL
 
Who me?

My chocolate Lab, Dakota is allergic to all commercial dog foods, so have to order a special freeze dried with nothing but veggies, no grains and with turkey, no chicken.  Also nearly lost him the last time he had his shots, so now he isn't allowed those.  Good thing my vet is the County rabies officer.

Poor babies!   I do know that you can't change their dog food without doing it very gradually by phasing out the present food and adding the new food bit by bit. 
 
We feed Hannah the Solid Gold Wolfking, brand of dog food and it's main ingredient is bison which is supposed to be excellent for the diet.  Have you ever had a Bison Burger?  They are the best hamburgers and I can almost guarantee no indigestion.   I also supplement the kibble with fresh cooked chicken liver and thighs.   Solid Gold also comes in cans and the downside is that you feel like you are parting with solid gold when you check out.  The animal supply stores and PetCo sell it - not PetSmart though.
 
Hope Ozzie's skin clears up soon - he certainly doesn't look as if he is in any discomfort from the pic...........just like Hannah - no modesty LOL!

Yes, that's generally correct.  Ozzie has been on the same food since we got him but he likes variety, so we combine the senior formula w/ the puppy formula or the chicken and turkey...each time, mixing bits of the new in w/ the old.  This time, we tried a new beef formula, w/ these chunks of chewy beef...and I bought some new oral care bites from Pedigree...he usually only has Milk bone...
 
 
Since it's a crap shoot as to which may be the culprit, we put him back on his old formulas and we'll see what happens.
