now leave for 5 mins!

No crafting done today....too busy with life stuff...
and energy levels not good and I have cold which is dragging me down.

Poppy has been having a problem with an itchy coat for a couple of days,
she is given flea stuff every month, there is no sign of any redness or of fleas or
beasties or anything to cause the irritation.

We popped into the vets and he had a wee look at Poppy who loves the vet!
She pulls you to get into the building, and jumps up when he calls her name....

He can't see anything but suggested we try a skin irritation releaving shampoo...

ok..... then he says,

thing is you need to do it 2 -3 times a week for a few weeks
and you need to leave it on for at least 5 minutes!!!

He has Labradors.....so he knows this is no easy task....

It's been cold here today, when she needs a bath due to rolling in dead animals we do it outside
with buckets of warm water, but decided standing outside with her and us portably soaking in while it was so cold was a bad idea!

This is her after we said you going for a bath?
she did some amazing spinning round and round the bed so we couldn't catch her....

then lay down so flat it made her hard to pick up!! Refusing to come off the bed!

but we got her....


so madam....do you have any plans for the weekend? Going out tonight?

the itchy bit seems to be her inside leg........and as I lathered up on her belly
she lifted her leg to show me where needed doing! LOL

the bottle said leave lather to soak for at least 5 -10 mins.....

it was just five mins before she decided she had been good long enough and was gonna jump out!
Managed to get hosed her off and got her all dried and fluffy.

She then spent ten mins running round the back garden going ballistic running through her digging patch and under shrubs......she is now sleeping ....

and so far ....no itchys!
