Mom was thinking the other day that my fur must be matted around my neck as it felt so thick - she brushed and brushed but didn't find any matts and then when Dad came home yesterday noticed straight away how thick my fur felt. For some reason over the past three weeks especially my fur has started growing (for those that don't know I lost about 2/3's of my fur due to the allergies I suffered with in Arkansas). Now what we don't know is whether it is the change of climate/area, a change in food (we are now on Zignature Limited Ingredient Kangaroo Formula which is a grain/potato and poultry free food) or the 3 weeks I spent on antibiotics. Maybe it is a combination of all those and the other thing Mom has noticed is my allergies shots are lasting longer now too. Mom says she is sorry for the fuzzy picture but the humidity fogs up the camera lens even with anti fog wipes (and notice me sitting with one paw up - I do this all the time now as I don't like the feel of the grass and my sore paw)My other bit of news is our baby ducks - seems like just yesterday they were cute little fluff balls and now it is hard to tell which one the Mom is (she is the middle 1 in the line of 3). We are actually really surprised they all survived what with all the turtles and cats - but all 3 did. We haven't even seen any turtles the past couple of weeks as our pond completely dried up in the hot temps (there is a drainage overflow that leads to a HUGE lake behind the houses on the other side of our street and we think the turtles are over there now. Thankfully it has stormed the last couple of afternoons and the pond has filled again but apart from our ducky family it is bird free as all our geese have left too - maybe they have headed north to cool off :)
Those baby ducks grew up fast!
ReplyDeleteYour fur is so handsome whether it is thick or thin! Hope you are feeling good. The ducks are adorable.

That's great about your furs. Hope you don't suffer from allergies anymore.
ReplyDeleteI thought the pawtograph was fuzzy, because your mum was dreaming. Congrats on having your allergies subside.

Sometimes when one loses fur it grows back totally different. Maybe that is what is happening?
ReplyDeleteWe too eat Zignature. We have been on the turkey formula for over two years now. Mom thinks our furs are softer and fuller too. We may try the fish flavor on our next order to try to reduce some of the fat content for Ciara. Maybe whatever you are allergic to isn't in your area of Florida. Whatever the reason we are thrilled to hear about the change.
