Gavin and Patty were snoozing this afternoon when the doorbell rang.  They woke, began barking, and dashed for the door.  I had to chase them back to retrieve the package from the mailman.  I must’ve sounded like a lion tamer at the door, “back, back. Get back.”  The poor mailman took several steps back.  I had to explain I wasn’t telling him to get back I was telling the dogs.  I swear they knew it was for them even before I said so.

     A couple of days ago I ordered some new vitamins for them, rich in omega 3s and 6s they are supposed to help stop them from being so darned itchy.  We’ll see.  They have enough for 200 days.  I’m hoping by that time they will be itch free.  Both have dry skin and Gavin has a tendency to get irritated skin.  They got their first dose as soon as I opened the bottle.  They liked them. 

     One thing that made me order these particular vitamins was that they came in a large dog size.  Which means they get one pill each, instead of two to four, as they would have to take with most I can find on the store shelves.  That gets expensive.  Another thing is that the company was offering free shipping and I know from ordering other things from them that the stuff arrives fast.
