Dad: I noticed Pooch kept shaking his head and scratching after I got home from
work last night, so took him to see Uncle Andy the v*t this morning. It seems
that poor Pooch has had a severe allergic reaction to something. We have no idea
what has set him off - nothing in the house, or his food, or the garden or any-
where else has changed... but he's got very, very sore ears and sore patches on
his front legs too. He's having anti-biotics in his food and ear drops twice
a day (easier said than done) for the next three weeks. He's also had blood tests
done to find out what on earth he's had such a severe reaction to.

We're going back to Uncle Andy next week to get the results and, if they're
inconclusive, Pooch might have to stay at the v*terinary hospital to have skin tests done. :-(

Neither of us are feeling particularly cheerful today so here's a photo from a walky a few
days ago of both of us running towards Mum and the camera and having fun.
