Lovely isn't it? It's a rash. The Dog has a rash. A rash on both of his Inner Thais... for cryin' out loud! The Dog licks them ONLY at night and ONLY after 2 in the morning. I don't know why. Perhaps, he is just bored at that hour and thinks... Gosh, I haven't licked My Inner Thais at all today! It sounds terrible... GHLOWLUUCK! GHLOWLUUCK!! GHLOWLUUCK!!!... and so on and so forth. Who needs to hear this verbal muck from a Weimaranere in The Wee Hours of the Night? I am awakened & am immediately impelled to silence the GHLOWLUUCK! Business with a resounding... BASTA!!! Moses. He stops. Maybe he does the licking in his sleep. I wouldn't be at all surprised.
The Vet & I believe that The Dog is either allergic to being indoors too much. An environment of wool Oriental rugs that might irritate The Dog's delicate Weimaraner skin. And, I might add, The Weather has not been much help since November on getting out more. It's always raining, etc.... or, to his Mineral & Vitamin Enriched Dog Chow. We can't do anything about the Weather... well, except shoot the uniformed military weatherman with his erroneous forecasts on Italian TV... but, we have been experimenting with The Dog's food. Several companies have skin sensitive Dog Chow... dried or canned. The Dog HATES this stuff. And, he still has the tell-tale signs of irritation on his Inner Thais. We will continue Our Search. The Dog is ardently hoping we'll just give him unlimited bread!
In the meantime, The Dog also has arthritis. Poor thing. It's those steep Travertine stairs he has to go up & down from one bed to the other. Too much stress on his shoulders. I am now administering a massive white pill... as per Our Vet... of shark's cartilage. Yes, shark's cartilage! I am heartened to know that those evil aquatic beasts... known to have eaten wind-surfers of late in certain beach locals in Florida & Australia... can restore Their Global Standing by aiding in My Adored Canine's arthritis. Gads.
