    Poor hay fever sufferer

    For humans i know that a little vaseline around the under eye and nostrils really does help as it helps to stop pollen going up the nose. Wonder if you can put this on dogs? My dog suffers terrible with allergies, we have to wash him frequently

    Allergies!!

    No they didnt advise of that Terry, the only other thing other than the ones we have done that they advised was a very pricey referral for an injection to be made for him that may not have worked anyway so we decided against it. The place we have gone to for the raw diet come highly recommended...

    Allergies!!

    Thats really good to know about the fish oils because we are currently on the raw food course where they add different raw ingredients each week and see if there are any reactions so they know and we can tailor his food specific for him. I know they add fish in week 7 of this so he gets the...

    Bowie in my bed or is it me that gets in Bowies bed?

    we are very skilled people to learn to actually sleep like that or is it through eventual exhaustion haha. He would not sleep anywhere without us. He even tries to get in the bath when either 1 of us is in there!

    I am human origami. I sleep inbetween Lola and Bowie (im the line that cant be crossed by bowie or lola gives him a swift paw to the face) I spend the night trying to not knock lola off the side of the bed and weaving the rest of me around wherever Bowie has decided to lie on his 3/4 side of the...
