food allergies!

I guess mom finally figured out why I'm so ITCHY and pull my hair out every 4 months or so. I'm getting food with no corn in it now and all I know is I feel better! My hair is shiny and I'm no longer ripping it out. I have more energy too...I wonder shy the vet never said anything about corn???? The bad thing is mom doesn't give me popcorn anymore, I love popcorn :(

I'm as fiesty as ever!

I got my summer haircut again and wow, it makes me look 10 years younger! Everyone asks mommy how old her puppy is (that's me!)

Mom has been taking me running on the trails three or four times a week and I feel so good. My arthritis hasn't been bothering me at all.

Also, I am no longer wary about strangers coming over to my house. I love everyone now. For so long I was very picky about who I decided to say hello and give kisses to, but now anyone who comes over gets a kiss. I think it's because I'm happier than ever.

Did I tell you that I learned to swim at age 9? I used to only go into the water up to my chest. Well, mom decided that I would like swimming so she used my beloved frisbee to show me that I could swim. Now I really love it and don't want to go home when we visit the dog beach. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks (except Im not REALLY an old dog, at least I dont nkow it)
