<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Elizabeth,
I’d try to bathe Bently with some Chlorahexiderm Shampoo. Leave it on for
10 minutes to allow it to kill any bacteria or possible yeast infection on him.
Then rinse him off really well. See if that helps with you and your daughters
symptoms. Also make sure that you wash off after snuggling with him.
Especially any uncovered skin, (hands, arms, face, legs if wearing shorts)
Another thought is to take him to the vet to have him checked for any skin
issues (fungus, bacteria etc). Explain to your vet what is happening with
you and your daughter. Plus like Anita said it could be some form of flea
medicine or shampoo that has been used on him…So a good bath or two should help
a lot.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">This
afternoon I was in the stores checkout line. The cashier was one that has
checked me out numerous times and knows that I have and love dogs, it is usually
the topic of our converstations while I am paying for my purchases. Today she
informed me that she had a new 4 month old puppy. I congratulated her but for
some reason had a quesy feeling come over me. As I am swiping my debit card she
tells me that she is having trouble potty training him and she might have to get
rid of him if he does’t get it soon. I tried to give her some tips. But
she had this air about her that she didn’t want to work with him…He was just
supposed to magically be potty trained. So I made my purchases, told her good
luck and left. Why didn’t I go Marlene on this heffer? Because I was in
uniform, (potraing the proper military image and all that crap) on base and I
didn’t want the security police to come take me to jail and ruin a 24 year Air
Force career. God I need to retire so I can go back and beat the crap out of
this women and then rescue that puppy…or wait I have an idea…I’ll just speak
softly and take Marlene with me. LOL This check out women is another
shining example of why tigers eat their young…to bad her mother wasn’t a
tiger!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
