I am posting about that little red dog, again. A bit odd I know, since it's two in a row now mentioning my somewhat estranged pup Rigby. But, it is my most recent bit of news to report on this eve of the new year. (Happy new year's eve everyone!)
So, we took Rigby to the Vet- she was due for quite a few of her shots... but this visit we also learned that she may, perhaps, have all kinds of allergies and skin issues. The long and short of it is that Rigby is now on a special diet. She is restricted to eating this hypo-allergenic, pure, no additives or fillers kind of food.
When we left the Vet (after Ben reminded me that this Vet visit cost him his Wii, to which I then made the point that this visit did not take the place of "his" Wii since we were not planning to buy one anyway) he also made the point that this dog now has a picky diet just like his owner, yours truly. Yes, it's true my dog and I both kind of like to stick to a somewhat additive and preservative free diet. I like to think I am preventing cancer, or something, and Rigby hopes it will clear up her allergies. We're weird, so what. I guess it runs in the family...

My dog's on that food, too! He was a prescription diet for about a year, but we've moved to an OTC holistic and organic food for his skin allergies. Oh yeah, and the medicines. And the frequent baths...
Ugh. Dog skin allergies are a pain...but if you need advice, I've been through it all! Good luck!
