Murphy is doing better! She hasn't been biting and scratching near as much on the medication. Her skin is infected which makes it itch so I am hoping that once the infection is gone, she will quit biting her legs. Murphy has white hair and all 4 legs are red from her biting.

She has two weeks of medication to take so I have my fingers crossed.

Good morning everyone. Burch I hope Murphy gets better. Levi our Australian Shepherd has issues with skin problems and would break out with a mad itch where he would chew raw places on his skin and pull the hair out. We would take him to Dr. Alexandra and he would give him a shot and some ointment for the skin. He would have to wear one of those cone collars to keep him from chewing on himself which he didn't care for at all. It was a seasonal thing it seems to me now. I can't remember if it was spring or fall, but on of the two.

Anyway all is well here in the Deep South. It is raining this morning with cool temps out side. The fur gang is well and so is Sue. I need to get moving so I will close for now wishing everyone a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them.

Wow, that is a great looking camps site. My wife loves getting sites on the water.

My mom took Murphy to the vet yesterday. The poor thing has been itching and biting for some time now. She has some type of allergy and her skin is red and infected. She is on 4 antibiotics now. I got a bit of sticker shock at the vet bill but I'll do anything to make her better. I feel guilty for waiting so long to take her to the vet.

Richard, I hope you can get your leak fixed quickly. It seems your last two RVs have been troublesome. I am hoping to not have too many initial issues with our motor home when we finally get it.

I have a friend who had a new rescue with skin problems. They tried everything and nothing relieved the poor little guys itch. He's like a little Pom and almost all the fur on his hind end had been rubbed or chewed off. She took him to get a second opinion. Found his thyroid out of whack. He was put on meds and is a different dog now.

Just FYI. In the even the meds don't help the little one, you might suggest testing. But I do hope the meds help.

Good morning everyone. We got some much needed rain yesterday and last night. The temperature at night has warmed up a great deal with the lows in the mid 60's. This morning the grass and plants in the yard look so good.

Hobo did very well on our weekend camping trip. We used the Pet Loader steps for her and that makes all the difference in the world for her. The large platforms allows her to put all four paws on the same level before she has to make another step. I can't see that she is losing any weight, but we will keep trying.

Suzie's days of playing in the water are over. Without Peaches' encouragement Suzie won't go into the water. I threw object into the water for her to fetch. She would run to the water's edge and stop, then look at me as if to say You must think I am going to swim after that stick? She then turns around and goes about her business along the water's edge.

When we got home Izzie was very talkative. He meowed us all afternoon and last night. Sue put him in the bed with us last night for a short while, too bad he can't jump up and down from the bed anymore. He can't sleep with us anymore because of his having to use the box at night. If he is in our bed he can't get down to take care of business.

We had a wonderful time at Modoc. I get to relive all the adventures of Old Fella each time we go. It doesn't seem like it has been twelve years since we first met him. I miss the times we had together and all the travels we experienced. The last three and a half years of his life must have been heaven on earth for him. I know he was happy as he showed us every day his love and devotion for family and friends. There are some memories we all have that takes us back to a time when all was well in Camelot. Everything and everyone was at peace and the world was happy with all of its beings and splendor was the main theme of the day. This is what I feel when I think of Old Fella and the life he brought to all who came to know him. If only we could live a life where all is at peace and all troubles were banished and each morning we would awake to see the one who makes all things wonderful and know we live in the care of one who gives unconditional love.

Okay I need to get moving so I will close for now wishing everyone a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them.

That does not look good. Do you know what is leaking. When I bought our Mobile Suites I had a leak like that on our trip home but would have needed a bigger bucket. Bathroom sink cold water line separated from the faucet.

The black water tank valve is leaking, again. [emoticon]

We really like Modoc and this particular campsite. We are close to the Old Fella Trail that leads to the other loop where he visited Bonnie and Clyde every morning when they were camping on site 29
