Tonight Eddie started skate school at the White Bear Sports Center. For the most part it was successful. He is starting in Tots 1...once you are able to stand on the ice and get up from the ice, you move onto Tots 2! He wasn't successful getting up off the ice tonight! But it will come.
My sweet hockey boy in the making.
He wasn't as aggressive on the ice tonight as he was this weekend for Cam's party. Ed is gone tonight for work, so he wasn't available to assist him either...not that they would've let him. We will just need to go to open skate a bit.
On another note...today I spent the day communicating with Lori from Fluffy Dog Wellness regarding Gizmo and his allergies. I've been giving him Benadryl for weeks and it doesn't appear to be doing anything. So she recommended I change his food to a raw diet and try milk thistle supplements for his skin. Therefore Eddie and I had to run to Chuck and Don's in Forest Lake to get some raw dog food, and after skating tonight stopped at a Health food store in WBL for milk thistle supplements. Started transitioning Gizmo at dinner time tonight...it'll take about 10 days to get him to 100% raw diet. Of course he loves it. We bought the raw bites because you can thaw right before meal versus having to do it overnight. And Gizmo sat and stared at his dish while it thawed. Hope it helps...time will tell. Lori's theory is that he has parasites in his body that are causing the itching, and the dry kibble we feed him is feeding the parasites which is leading to his allergy/itching issues.
