scratching dog

he's going nuts tonight... is it emotional because his momma came home after being away most of the week?... or is it an allergy to the pizza crusts he ate tonight... he was not scratching the past week, in fact, tonight is the worst scratching i've seen in a couple of months or more... did he get into an ant mound outside?... i am leaning toward the pizza crusts... maybe he is allergic to breads or certain grains... or tomatoes... or something... or maybe it's the worms getting worse (jackson said he has worms... his poops are definitely greasy slimier than usual lately... she didn't get him anything for that though, in fact, he hasn't had his canned food or treats in more than a week... not sure if she was too busy or ran out of money dues to xmas shopping... he needs to lose weight so it's actually good that he eats only the dry food and no treats and less food, in fact... but he's definitely scratching up a storm tonight)... i had to stop him from nipping at his legs for the first time in months... he's opened sores before and he's acting like he might again... i may get him a benadryl in a bit if i an find them...

he's definitely a pizza hound though... and a food junkie... i know, most dogs are, but he takes it to a new level... he would eat himself to death on people food if we let him... and he's way too old and been on a special diet for too many years to use the old eat till you get sick trick on him... jackson has spoiled him rotten when it comes to getting a table scrap and since he's been on his special kidney diet he's become a serious beggar... but his itching, that we must stop or he will draw blood...

domesticated animals are such delicate kids sometimes...
