Fleas even with Frontline Plus

It had only been 10 days since using Frontline on Hoshi and I noticed him scratching. I also noticed flea dirt and fleas on his scrotum during his trim yesterday so I used Hartz UltraGuard Plus flea shampoo on him. I’m not sure if the Frontline didn’t work or if he picked up more fleas outside. He’s seems comfortable now.

Hoshi’s walk

Hoshi went for a walk yesterday while Cathy was at the doctor’s.  It’s fun for him because we walked someplace new.  There was lots of vegetation for him to explore and run through.  That’s the face of a happy dog.

Hoshi had a bath and trim the day before.  He was panting indoors letting me know his coat was too warm.  He does this in the winter time too.  Just imagine if we lived somewhere hot like Florida or Texas. I trim him myself–not a gorgeous cut but utilitarian.

Hoshi’s eating raw chicken again

I’ve been cooking Hoshi’s chicken since December and lately he’s losing interest in it. The other day I gave him his chicken raw and he went crazy over it. I’m glad he still likes it and I think it’s healthier for him. I need to find some doggie vitamins for him too.
