Poor Archie

Well,Archie woke up with an ENORMOUS round area on the side of his back that was all red and the hair was gone(PL2 here, it wasn't ENORMOUS but big enough to be worrisome)PL1+2 had noticed a little area that was missing some hair but thought that it was from their grooming techniques( Show groomers they are not) and now it was big and red So they took him to the Holistic Vet today because they thought their other Vet(yep we have 2,one holistic and one not, don't ask)would want to try cortisone cream and they wanted to hold off on that if possible.So I went for moral support(unlike my dear brother WHO DID NOT COME when I had to go with my Pee issues which are all cleared up now thank you)Well she thought that Arch may have gotten bitten by something and now was having a reaction .Man this kid has major issues with bugs. Once he had fleas and was allergic to them!!( I didn't get one flea)Anyway so he has to have this stuff put on it and take this other stuff by mouth and PL2 felt wicked sorry for him because he is the wussier of both of us .And of course our pals at The Pet Cabaret had the stuff that we needed to put on him.
(Lisa and Lisa from the Pet Cabaret also told us that they are going to soon have a web site where you can ORDER STUFF ON LINE!! How cool! So all you guys can get stuff from there too!!!!) When PL1 heard that PL2 was going there he said,oh boy this ought to be good.......You always spend tons there(WELL WHAT DOES HE THINK?????)And then he showed PL2 the oil bill we got today and said that was it, the heat was going off and then he was mumbling about the price of oil and something about George Bush and a lot of swears that we can't repeat....So,,,, Arch and I decided that we would have to wear our scarves INDOORS.

We won these scarves as a prize for 2cd place in a photo contest from the WFT email list for this picture........entitled


.....Where did you put that provolone??

Anyway here's the loot( I went without Arch because he was really tired from going to the Vet so I chose all this stuff.........(and the girls had ALOT of new stuff so PL2 WENT NUTS!!!!!!!
One funny thing about Holistic Vets.Sometimes you can't understand really what they are talking about and the one Arch saw was covering for our regular Vet. She examined his head and said she thought(or this is what PL1+2 heard)that his head was weak ...(HAH!! You didn't need to go to the Vet to know that!!!!) First PL2 thought she said his head was melting(his brain more likely) but she KNEW it couldn't of have been that) so she bought LOTS of chew things(that I picked) to strengthen his head( it''ll take more than this but...)

These chewies are made from fish and are good for joints(if you have arthritis) and good for your breath( what fish breath is good???)





Look at these fabulous cookies.....


Another chewie thing made from carrots and parsley.....


A chewie toy that smells minty and is good for your breathe( wait a minute...)

Treats that taste like chicken pot pie OMG!!!.....

Of course our favorite,sweet potato chews........


Chicken and raw hide chewies.....

What the heck? How did that get in there????????(I will tell you if this works...is supposed to be calming for those terrier times........)

Well I do have to say she did spend a bit and now she is mumbling about flipping cold she is and she can't feel her fingers because the heat is down and now she will have to work a million hours a week because oil is so expensive and she is saying a lot of swears too......

Yesterday was the last night of Chanukah........Here are all our candles(PL2 just said this is how we are going to have to heat the house now.....)

Here are our presents...A cookbook on how to make us treats(because a girl really can never have too many treats..Check out the dogs on the cover)

A lovely calendar.......

This is a toy PL2 noticed all the kids at the show had in the ring so she got us each one.....

This is( I mean was) a toy that Archie said PL2 must have bought defective..tee hee

Well I have to go and make sure Archies head isn't melting..............(oh boy I am rolling over this one.............!!!!!!!!!!!!)
