[Dailydrool] Fun with Ben

[DDropp at aol.com]

As you know we have been having fun with Ben and eating. We finally got him 
 eating Back to Basic's pork flavor with Evanger's canned pork. He has not 
been  eating it without some prodding. Well, as we look back, Ben has been 
scratching  a bit more that usual, especially his left ear, and licking his 
paws and tail.  It finally came to a head two weeks ago, so we headed off to 
the vet. Checked  him over, ears clean and everything is normal. So we 
switch dry foods. No  change, so we quit the canned food and add grilled chicken 
to the new dry, and  go to the vet. So now he is on Benedryl, 50mg, 3 times 
a day. It seems to be  working, but will need a day or two more. I hope it 
works. The funny thing is in  four years, he has never done this. Will 
probably go back to the canned food  now, as do not want to be grilling chicken 
for him every day. Took him for a  nice walk today. He walked fine on the 
first half, but them I wanted to head for  home and he did not. I won the 
direction fight, but lost the walk. He walked so  slow on the way back, and made 
sure to smell all the sidewalks and grass blades  he could. He made a 8 block 
walk into one that lasted for over an hour. Towards  the end, I wanted to 
carry him home.

We  also want to send drool to all the east coast drools caught in  Irene's 
fury.  Hope you all are safe and have not lost everything.   Drool and 
prayers going out to Bel and Pixel.  Hope you both will start to  feel better 
soon, and get back to being your old selves.
